ISO 13169:2018

Water quality - Uranium - Test method using alpha liquid scintillation counting

This document specifies the measurement method for the determination of total activity concentration of uranium isotopes in non-saline waters by extraction and liquid scintillation counting.

This method covers the measurement of soluble uranium isotopes in water in activity concentrations between approximately 2·10⁻³ Bq/kg and 10 Bq/kg when analysing a 1 l test sample volume with a 60 000 s counting time with a typical alpha LSC instrument.

The ratio ²³⁴U/²³⁸U can also be determined. This method has not been tested for the measurement of other uranium isotopes.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
