NF EN ISO 13164-4

This document describes a test method for the determination of radon-222 (²²²Rn) activity concentration in non-saline waters by extraction and liquid scintillation counting.

The ²²²Rn activity concentrations, which can be measured by this test method utilizing currently available instruments, are above 0,5 Bq·l⁻¹ which is the typical detection limit for a 10 ml test sample and a measuring time of 1 h.

It is the responsibility of the laboratory to ensure the validity of this test method for water samples of untested matrices.

Annex A gives indication on the necessary counting conditions to meet the required detection limits for drinking water monitoring.

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.
