26、ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, go

27、vernmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC

28、 Directives, Part 3.Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.International Standard ISO 14593 was prepared by Techn

29、ical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 5, Biological methods.Annex A, Annex B and Annex C of this International Standard are for information only.blankEN ISO 14593:1999 BSI 11 November 20051WARNING Activated sludge and sewage may contain potentially pathogenic organisms and should

30、 be handled with appropriate precautions. Hazardous test compounds and those whose properties are unknown should be handled with care.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method, by analysis of inorganic carbon, for the evaluation in an aqueous medium of the ultimate aerobic biodegradabili

31、ty of organic substances at a given concentration of microorganisms.This International Standard is applicable to organic compounds which are:a) water-soluble under the test conditions;b) poorly water-soluble under the test conditions, in which case special measures may be necessary to achieve a good

32、 dispersion of the compound (see ISO 10634);c) volatile;d) not inhibitory to the test microorganisms at the concentration chosen for the test.In this test, biogenically produced inorganic carbon is measured in situ in the test vessels in such a manner that the rate measured nearly equals the rate of

33、 microbial production.NOTE 1 The conditions described in this International Standard do not always correspond to the optimal conditions for allowing the maximum degree of biodegradation to occur. For alternative biodegradation methods see ISO 15462.NOTE 2 With highly volatile substances, losses to t

34、he gaseous phase can be minimized by reducing the volume of the headspace. However, there should be sufficient oxygen in the test system to prevent biodegradation being oxygen-limited.NOTE 3 The presence of an inhibitory effect can be determined as specified in 8.3, or by using any other method for

35、determining the inhibitory effect of a substance on bacteria (see, for example, ISO 8192).2 Normative referenceThe following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

The concentration of the compound used normally yields an initial organic carbon concentration in the medium of 2 mg/l to 40 mg/l, usually 20 mg/l.
