Together with BS ISO 18400-102:2017, BS ISO 18400-104 and BS ISO 18400-206 it supersedes BS ISO 10381-6:2009 which will be withdrawn upon publication of all remaining parts of the BS ISO 18400 series.BS ISO 18400-105:2017 is intended to be used in conjunction with BS 10175:2011+A1:2013
3、 and other members of the BS ISO series of standards as appropriate. Where there are differences in the guidance given in this standard and that in BS 10175:2011+A1:2013, the guidance in this standard takes precedence. The UK committee notes that this standard covers a wide variety of situations in
4、which investigations including sampling to determine soil quality might be carried out rather than being focused on potentially contaminated sites, as is the case in BS 10175:2011+A1:2013.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee EH/4, Soil quality.A list of organi

22、between the time of sampling and testing. This is especially true of soils contaminated with volatile constituents. The extent of these changes is a function of the chemical and biological characteristics of the sample, its temperature, its exposure to light, the nature of the container in which it
23、is placed, the time between sampling and analysis, the conditions to which it is submitted, and seasonal conditions. The characteristics of a sample can change considerably in a few hours. For more information, see ISO 18512.An important part of the sampling plan is to consider the possible extent o
24、f these changes and to prescribe the process of packaging, preservation, transport, and delivery in such a way that the samples are still representative when delivered to the laboratory.This document is part of a series on sampling standards for soil.

27、t establishes general principles for packing, preservation, transport and delivery of samples of soil and related materials with an emphasis on requirements for when chemical analysis of the samples is required, but with the intention that the general procedures are to be adapted as appropriate when
28、 other forms of testing are required (e.g. biological testing, physical tests on disturbed or undisturbed samples). Special procedures for specific sampling purposes are given in other parts of ISO 18400 (see also 7.2).This document is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 18512.2 Normative re

35、ISO 18400-105:2017ISO 18400-105:2017(E)4 Incorporation in the sampling planThe project manager should prescribe containers and establish preservation techniques and storage times in consultation with the test laboratory and include this information in the sampling plan.The laboratory performing the
36、analysis or other tests should be consulted to ensure that appropriate containers and preservation and handling techniques are used and that any requirements specific to the proposed analytical method(s) or other method of test are taken into account (see 7.2 for transportation requirements for some
37、 special situations).5 Preparing samples for consignment5.1 GeneralAll staff who handle samples, including any labelling and packaging, should be aware of their nature and possible hazards resulting from their handling (see ISO 18400-103). Samples should be transported to the laboratory and schedule
38、d for analysis as quickly as possible to minimize any potential for physical, chemical, or biological changes before examination, usually within 24 h or in accordance with laboratory requirements for time-dependent analytes. See ISO 18512 for guidance on how laboratories should store and preserve sa
39、mples for laboratory determinations including suitable storage periods under various conditions.5.2 ContainersA container should be compatible with the nature of the soil sample and the constituents to be analysed. Any sample container used should not cause contamination of the sample, should not ad
40、sorb any sample components (for example, organic compounds), and should not allow losses of volatile components.Containers should preferably be selected that can serve for long-term storage (procedures for storage are given in ISO 18512). Repacking will then not be necessary if longer term storage i
41、s required.When the sample containers are supplied by the laboratory to which the samples are to be sent, a check should be made that they are sufficient size to hold the size of sample required as determined, following the guidance in ISO 18400-1041).NOTE 1 Table 1 provides a summary of the advanta
42、ges and disadvantages of containers in common usage. The containers usually used for routine work with “non-contaminated” soils are plastic (polyethylene or polypropylene) tubs with fitted lids, with a capacity of 1 kg to 2 kg of solid sample.NOTE 2 The size of sample required, and hence the size of
43、 container required, will depend on a variety of factors including the nature of the soil (e.g. particle sizes) and the purpose for which the sample is required (e.g. the range of tests to be carried out). Guidance on minimum samples sizes is provided in ISO 18400-1041).NOTE 3 When soils that might
44、be contaminated are to be analysed or otherwise tested, it might be necessary to take more than one sample from a sampling location in order that sample integrity is properly preserved prior to analysis and to permit a full range of potential contaminants to be determined.Plastic bags shall not be u
45、sed when analysis for organic compounds is to be carried out.Sample containers should be clean and dry. The choice of cleaning method will depend on container material and the constituents to be analysed and should not contaminate the container with regard to the constituents to be analysed or cause
46、 harm to the environment or human health.Where organic compounds are to be determined, inert containers, which prevent loss by adsorption or volatilization, should be used. Where no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are present, a wide-mouthed amber glass jar may be used, but if VOCs are present, sa
47、mpling and handling should be done in accordance with ISO 22155 or DIN 19747.1) Under preparation.2 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 18400-105:2017ISO 18400-105:2017(E)Uncertainty about whether a compound should be regarded as volatile or not should trigger a specific quality scheme to ensure that
48、 packaging, storing, etc. does not introduce bias, cross contamination, or other forms of unacceptable errors.Different sizes and types of container should always be available on site, so that if unexpected materials are encountered, they can be properly sampled.Samples for biological testing should
49、 be placed in a loosely tied polythene bag or similar to preserve sample integrity while giving free access to air (see also 7.2).Table 1 Suitability of containers for analytical samplesContainer materialSubstances present in the samplefAnalytical requirementsAdvan-tagesDisadvan-tagesAcidAlka-lineInor-gan-icsOils and tarsSolvents and other organic com-pounds including VOCsInor-gan-icsOils and tarsNon- volatile and semi- volatile organic com-poundsVolatile organic com-poundsPlastic bag +a+a+ - - +a- - -Low costsEasily damag
