It is identical with ISO73

4、46-3:1996. It supersedes BS6068-5.4:1985 which is withdrawn. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee EH/3, Water quality, to Subcommittee EH/3/5, Biological methods, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible

6、st to its secretary. BS EN ISO 7346-3 is one of a series of standards on water quality, others of which have been, or will be, published as Sections of BS6068. This standard has therefore been given the secondary identifier BS6068-5.4. The various Sections of BS6068 are comprised within Parts1 to7,

7、which, together with Part0, are listed below. Part 0: Introduction; Part 1: Glossary; Part 2: Physical, chemical and biochemical methods; Part 3: Radiological methods; Part 4: Microbiological methods; Part 5: Biological methods; Part 6: Sampling; Part 7: Precision and accuracy.

The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out thr

25、ough 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collabo

26、rates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by a

27、t least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 7346-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 5, Biological methods. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7346-3:1984), which has been technically revised. I

28、SO 7346 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water quality Determination of the acute lethal toxicity of substances to a freshwater fish Brachydanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan (Teleostei, Cyprinidae): Part 1: Static method; Part 2: Semi-static method; Part 3: Flow-through method.

Descriptors: Water, quality, water pollution, tests, water tests, biological tests, determination, toxicity.EN ISO 7346-3:1997 BSI 05-1999 1 Introduction The three parts of ISO7346 describe methods of determining the acute

30、lethal toxicity of substances to the zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan) but it must be emphasized that the recommended use of the zebra fish does not preclude the use of other species. The methodologies presented here may also be used for other species of freshwater, marine or brackish

31、 water fish, with appropriate modifications of, for example, dilution water quality and the temperature conditions of the test. Within the three parts of ISO7346, a choice can be made between static, semi-static and flow-through methods. The static test, described in ISO7346-1, in which the solution

32、 is not renewed, has the advantage of requiring simple apparatus, although the substances in the test vessel may become depleted during the course of the test and the general quality of the water may deteriorate. The flow-through method, described in this part of ISO7346, in which the test solution

33、is replenished continuously, overcomes such problems but requires the use of more complex apparatus. In the semi-static procedure, described in ISO7346-2, the test solutions are renewed every 24h or 48h, this method being a compromise between the other two. The flow-through method can be used for mo

34、st types of substances, including those unstable in water, but the concentrations of the test substance are determined wherever possible. The static method is limited to the study of substances whose tested concentrations remain relatively constant during the test period. The semi-static method can

35、be used for testing those substances whose concentrations can be maintained satisfactorily throughout the test by renewal of the solutions every 24h or 48h. Special arrangements may be necessary for substances which are highly volatile. To assist in the preparation and maintenance of concentrations

36、of substances which may be lethal at concentrations close to that of their aqueous solubility, a small volume of solvent may be used, as specified in the methods. 1 Scope This part of ISO7346 specifies a flow-through method for the determination of the acute lethal toxicity of stable, non-volatile,

37、single substances, soluble in water under specified conditions, to a freshwater fish Brachydanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) common name, zebra fish in water of a specified quality. The method is applicable for assigning, for each test substance, broad categories of acute lethal

38、toxicity to Brachydanio rerio under the test conditions. The results are insufficient by themselves to define water quality standards for environmental protection. The method is also applicable when using certain other species of freshwater fish as the test organism 1) . The method may be adapted fo

39、r use with other freshwater fish and marine and brackish water fish with appropriate modification of the test conditions, particularly with respect to the quantity and quality of the dilution water and the temperature. 2 Principle Determination, under specified conditions, of the concentrations at w

40、hich a substance is lethal to50% of a test population of Brachydanio rerio after exposure periods of 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h to that substance in the ambient water. These median lethal concentrations are designated the 24h LC50, 48h LC50, 72h LC50 and 96h LC50. The test is carried out in two stages: a

41、) a preliminary test which gives an approximate indication of the acute median lethal concentrations and serves to determine the range of concentrations for the final test; b) a final test, the results of which alone are reported. 1) The following species of freshwater fish can be used, in addition

42、to Brachydanio rerio, without modification to this part of ISO7346. Lepomis macrochirus (Teleostei, Centrarchidae) Oryzias latipes (Teleostei, Poeciliidae) Pimephales promelas (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) Poecilia reticulata (Teleostei, Poeciliidae)EN ISO 7346-3:1997 2 BSI 05-1999 Where evidence is avail

43、able to show that test concentrations remain relatively constant (i.e.within about 20% of the nominal values) throughout the test, then either measured or nominal concentrations are used in the estimation of the LC50. Where such analyses show that the concentrations present remain relatively constan

44、t but are less than about 80%, or greater than 120%, of the nominal values, then the analytical values are used in estimating the LC50. Where evidence is not available to show that the test concentrations remained at an acceptable level throughout the test period, or where it is known (or suspected)

45、 that the concentrations of the test chemical have declined significantly at any stage during the test, then, irrespective of whether or not chemical analytical data are available, the LC50 cannot be defined using this test method. In these cases, the test is not necessarily invalidated but it can o

46、nly be stated that the LC50 of the substance is k x mg/l, the value, x, being estimated from the nominal concentrations used. 3 Test organism and reagents The reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade. The water used for the preparation of solutions shall be glass-distilled water or deionized

47、 water of at least equivalent purity. 3.1 Test organism The test species shall be Brachydanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan (Teleostei, Cyprinidae), commonly known as the zebra fish. Each test fish shall have a total length of 30mm 5mm, which, in principle, corresponds to a mass of 0,3g 0,1g. They shall b

48、e selected from a population of a single stock. This stock should have been acclimatized and, in any case, maintained for at least 7d prior to the test in dilution water, continuously aerated using bubbled air (see 3.2), under conditions of water quality and illumination similar to those used in the

49、 test. They shall be fed as normal up to the 24h period immediately preceding the test. Test fish shall be free of overt disease or visible malformation. They shall not receive treatment for disease during the test or in the 2 weeks preceding the test. Subsequent to the test, fish remaining alive should be suitably disposed of. Environmental conditions for the maintenance and breeding of zebra fish are given in Annex A. 3.2 Standard dilution water The freshly prepared stan
