ISO 28540:2011

Water quality - Determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in water - Method using gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS)

ISO 28540:2011 specifies a method for the determination of at least 16 selected PAH (see Table 1) in drinking water and ground water in mass concentrations above 0,005 µg/l and surface water in mass concentrations above 0,01 µg/l (for each individual compound).

ISO 28540:2011 can be used for samples containing up to 150 mg/l of suspended matter.

This method is, with some modification, also suitable for the analysis of waste water. It is possible that this method is applicable to other PAH, provided the method is validated for each case.

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.
