It is identical with ISO6222:1999. It supersedes BS6068-4.5:1989 which is withdrawn. The UK participation
4、 in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee EH/3, Water quality, to Subcommittee EH/3/4, Microbiological methods, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or pr
5、oposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. BS ENISO6222 is one of a series of standards on water q
6、uality, others of which have been, or will be, published as Sections of BS6068. This standard has therefore been given the secondary identifier BS6068-4.5. The various Sections of BS6068 are comprised within Parts1 to7, which, together with Part0, are listed below. Part 0: Introduction; Part 1: Glos
7、sary; 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. NOTEThe tests described in this British Standard should only be carried out by suitably qualified per
8、sons with an appropriate level of microbiological expertise. Standard microbiological procedures should be followed throughout. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with
9、 their corresponding European publications. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards E

22、various sources, such as soil and vegetation, and estimation of the overall numbers provide useful information for the assessment and surveillance of water quality. Separate counts are usually made of the micro-organisms which are able to grow and form colonies on nutrient agar media at36 C and22 C.
23、 Colony counts are useful for assessing the integrity of ground water sources and the efficiency of water treatment processes such as coagulation, filtration and disinfection and provide an indication of the cleanliness and integrity of the distribution system. They can also be used to assess the su
24、itability of a supply for the preparation of food and drink, where the water supply should contain few micro-organisms to avoid contaminating the product with spoilage organisms. The main value of colony counts lies in the detection of changes from those expected, based on frequent, long term monito
25、ring. Any sudden increase in the count can be an early warning of serious pollution and calls for immediate investigation. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the enumeration of culturable micro-organisms in water by counting the colonies formed in a nutrient agar culture medium af
26、ter aerobic incubation at36 C and22 C. The method is intended to measure the operational efficiency of the treatment process of public drinking water supplies and for general application to all types of water. It is particularly applicable to the examination of water intended for human consumption,
27、including water in closed containers and to natural mineral waters. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed thereafter. For dated referenc
28、es, subsequent amendment to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

31、ulds capable of forming colonies in the medium specified under the test conditions described herein 4 Principle Inoculation by mixing with a specified culture medium in Petri dishes, measured volumes of the samples or dilutions of the sample. Incubation of one set of plates at36 C for44h, and anothe
32、r set at22 C for68h. Calculation of the number of colony-forming units (c.f.u.) per millilitre (ml) of the sample from the number of colonies formed in the medium. 5 Apparatus and glassware Usual microbiological laboratory equipment and, in particular: 5.1 Apparatus for sterilisation by steam (autoc
33、lave) 5.2 Incubator capable of maintaining a temperature of (36 2) C 5.3 Incubator capable of maintaining a temperature of (22 2) C 5.4 Glass or plastics Petri dishes with a diameter of90mm or100mm 5.5 Water bath or similar apparatus capable of maintaining a temperature of (45 1) C 5.6 Colony counti
34、ng equipment with a method of illumination against a dark background 6 Sampling Take the samples of water in accordance with the instructions for sampling, handling and preservation given in EN25667-2 and ENISO5667-3. Examine water supplied in closed containers, including natural mineral waters, wit
35、hin12h of bottling, keeping the temperature of storage at(5 3) C during this period.ENISO6222:1999 4 BSI 03-2000 7 Culture media and diluents 7.1 Basic materials For the preparation of the medium, use ingredients of uniform quality and chemicals of analytical grade; alternatively use an equivalent d
36、ehydrated complete medium and follow the manufacturers instructions. For making media, use glass-distilled or deionised water prepared in accordance with ENISO3696 grade3 and free from substances which might inhibit growth under the conditions of the test. NOTEThe use of chemicals of other grades is
37、 permissible providing they are shown to be of equal performance in the test. 7.2 Diluent For the dilutions, use the peptone diluent given in ISO8199. 7.3 Yeast extract agar Add the ingredients, or the complete dehydrated medium, to the water and dissolve by heating. Adjust the pH if necessary so th
38、at after sterilization it will be7,2 0,2 at25 C. Distribute volumes of15ml to20ml in tubes, bottles or other containers. For storage in larger volumes, use containers up to500ml capacity. Sterilise in the autoclave (5.1) at (121 3) C for(15 1) minutes. For use, melt the medium, allow to cool and mai
39、ntain it at (45 1) C using the water bath (5.5). It is recommended to store the medium not longer than4h at45 C, after which time the medium shall be discarded. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation and inoculation Carry out preparation of the sample, make dilutions and inoculate the culture media, in accorda
40、nce with ISO8199, ENISO5667-3 and ISO6887. Use the pour-plate method (ISO8199). Place a volume of the test sample (or its dilution) not exceeding2ml in the Petri dish, add15ml to20ml of the molten medium (7.3) and mix carefully by gentle rotation; allow the medium to set. Time between addition of th
41、e test sample (or its dilution) and addition of the molten medium shall not exceed15min. Inoculate at least one plate for incubation at each temperature. 8.2 Incubation and examination Invert the plates and incubate one set at (36 2) C for (44 4) h; incubate the other set at (22 2) C for (68 4) h. E
42、xamine the plates as soon as they are removed from the incubators; if this is not possible, store them at (5 3) C and examine them within48h. Reject any plate with confluent growth. 8.3 Counting of colonies For each temperature of incubation, and following the procedures described in ISO8199, count
43、the colonies present in each plate and calculate the estimated number of colony forming units present in1ml of sample. 9 Expression of results Express the results as the number of colony-forming units per millilitre (cfu/ml) of the sample for each temperature of incubation. If there are no colonies
44、in the plates inoculated with the test volumes of the undiluted sample, express the results as not detected in one millilitre. If there are more than300 colonies on the plates inoculated with the highest dilutions used, express the results as300 or as approximate only. 10 Test report The test report
45、 shall make reference to this European Standard and give all relevant information, including a) all details necessary for complete identification of the sample; b) the technique (pour plate) and medium used; c) the time and temperature of incubation; d) the results of the count expressed in accordan
