This standard has therefore been giv- en the secondary identifier BS 6068-4.10. The various sections of BS 6068 are comprised within Parts 1 to 7
7、, which, together with Part 0, 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. NOTE The tests des

The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical commi
27、ttees. 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 collaborates closely with the I
28、nternational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member
29、bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 9308-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 4, Microbiological methods. ISO 9308 consists of the fo
30、llowing parts, under the general title Water quality Detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria in surface and waste water: Part 1: Membrane filtration method; Part 2: Liquid enrichment method; Part 3: Miniaturized method (Most Probable Number) by inoculation in liquid media
31、. Annex E and Annex F form a normative part of this part of ISO 9308. Annex A to Annex D are for information only.iv blankEN ISO 9308-3:1998 BSI 07-2001 1 1 Scope This part of ISO 9308 specifies a miniaturized method for the detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in surface and wast
32、e water by inoculation in a liquid medium. The method is applicable to all types of surface and waste waters, particularly those rich in suspended matter. This method is not suitable for drinking water and any other type of water for which the guideline is less than 15 counts per 100 ml. This method
33、 is not appropriate for enumeration and detection of coliform bacteria other than E. coli. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

38、f 44 C in the specified liquid medium containing 4-methylumbelliferyl- -D-glucuronide (MUG) 4 Principle The diluted sample is inoculated in a row of microtitre plate wells containing dehydrated culture medium. The microtitre plates are examined under ultraviolet light at 366 nm in the dark after an
39、incubation period of 36 h minimum and 72 h maximum at 44 C 0,5 C. The presence of E. coli is indicated by a blue fluorescence resulting from hydrolysis of MUG. The results are given as most probable number (MPN) per 100 ml. 5 Apparatus With the exception of equipment supplied sterile, the glassware
40、shall be sterilized in accordance with instructions given in ISO 8199 Usual microbiological laboratory equipment, and in particular: 5.1 Apparatus for sterilization by dry heat (oven) or steam (autoclave):. 5.2 Thermostatic incubator regulated at 44 C 0,5 C. 5.3 Tunnel drier or vertical laminar air
41、flow cabinet (preferably class II). 5.4 UV observation chamber (Woods Lamp, 366 nm). WARNING. UV light causes irritation of eyes and skin.

45、 chemicals of recognized analytical grade, or a dehydrated diluent or complete medium prepared following the manufacturers instructions. Prepare them with demineralized or distilled water free from substances capable of inhibiting growth under the test conditions. If the media are not used immediate
46、ly, preserve them in the dark at (5 3) C for up to one month in conditions avoiding any alterations to their composition. NOTE The use of chemicals of other grades is permissible providing they are shown to be of equivalent performance in the test. 7.2 Diluents 7.2.1 Special diluent (SD) Sterilize i
