19、wordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (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 techni
20、cal 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 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of e
21、lectrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to th
22、e member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for iden

31、mpling Part 3: Preservation and handling of water samplesNOTICE This part of ISO 5667 and the analytical International Standards listed in Annex A are complementary. Where no analytical International Standard is applicable, the technique(s) described in Tables A.1 to A.3 take(s) normative status.Whe
32、n new or revised analytical standards are developed with storage times or preservative techniques differing from those in Tables A.1 to A.3, then the storage times or preservative techniques should be validated and presented to ISO/TC 147/SC 6/WG 3 for incorporation into the next revision of this pa
33、rt of ISO 5667.1 ScopeThis part of ISO 5667 establishes general requirements for sampling, preservation, handling, transport and storage of all water samples including those for biological analyses. It is not applicable to water samples intended for microbiological analyses as specified in ISO 19458
34、, ecotoxicological assays, biological assays, and passive sampling as specified in the scope of ISO 5667-23.This part of ISO 5667 is particularly appropriate when spot or composite samples cannot be analysed on site and have to be transported to a laboratory for analysis.2 Normative referencesThe fo

39、der predefined conditions for a (usually) specified time interval between collection and further treatment of a sampleNOTE 1 Adapted from ISO 11074:2005,294.4.22.NOTE 2 Specified time is the maximum time interval.3.4storage timeperiod of time between filling of the sample container and further treat
40、ment of the sample in the laboratory, if stored under predefined conditionsNOTE 1 Sampling finishes as soon as the sample container has been filled with the sample. Storage time ends when the sample is taken by the analyst to start sample preparation prior to analysis.NOTE 2 Further treatment is, fo
41、r most analytes, a solvent extraction or acid destruction. The initial steps of sample preparation can be steps complementary to the storage conditions for the maintenance of analyte concentrations.4 Sampling and chain of custodyIf there is a need to take samples, this is done according to a samplin
42、g programme. The first step is to design a sampling programme. Guidance on this topic is given in ISO 5667-1.Depending on the sample type and matrix, the guidelines found in the relevant part(s) of ISO 5667 and ISO 19458 shall be consulted.The process of preservation and handling of water samples co
43、nsists of several steps. During this process, the responsibility for the samples might change. To ensure the integrity of the samples, all steps involving the sample shall be documented.All preparation procedures shall be checked to ensure positive or negative interferences do not occur. As a minimu
44、m, this shall include the analysis of blanks (e.g. field blank or sample container) or samples containing known levels of relevant analytes as specified in ISO 5667-14.5 Reagents and materialsWARNING Certain preservatives (e.g. acids, alkalis, formaldehyde) need to be used with caution. Sampling per
45、sonnel should be warned of potential dangers, and appropriate safety procedures should be followed.The following reagents are used for the sample preservation and shall only be prepared according to individual sampling requirements. All reagents used shall be of at least analytical reagent grade and
46、 water shall be of at least ISO 3696, grade 2. Acids referred to in this part of ISO 5667 are commercially available “concentrated” acids.All reagents shall be labelled with a “shelf-life”. The shelf-life represents the period for which the reagent is suitable for use, if stored correctly. This shel
47、f-life shall not be exceeded. Any reagents that are not completely used by the expiry of the shelf-life date shall be discarded.NOTE Often the shelf-life of reagents is supplied by the receiving laboratory.Check reagents periodically, e.g. by field blanks, and discard any reagent found to be unsuita
48、ble.Between on-site visits, reagents shall be stored separately from sample containers and other equipment in a clean, secure cabinet in order to prevent contamination.Each sample shall be labelled accordingly, after the addition of the preservative. Otherwise, there could be no visible indication a
49、s to which samples have been preserved, and which have not.2 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 5667-3:2012ISO 5667-3:2012(E)5.1 Solids5.1.1 Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, Na2S2O35H2O, w(Na2S2O35H2O) 99 %.5.1.2 Ascorbic acid, C6H8O6, w(C6H8O6) 99 %.5.1.3 Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, w(NaOH) 99 %.5.1.4 Sodium tetraborate decahydrate, Na2B4O710H2O, w(Na2B4O710H2O), 99 %.CAUTION Sodium tetraborate decahydrate is known to be a carcinogen, mutagen and reproductive toxin (CMR).5.1.5 Hexamethylenetetramine (hexa
