NF EN ISO 7027-2

This document specifies the following semi-quantitative methods for the assessment of transparency of waters:

a) measurement of visual range using the transparency testing tube (applicable to transparent and slightly cloudy water), see Clause 4;

b) measurement of visual range in the upper water layers using the transparency testing disc (especially applicable to surface, bathing water, waste water and often used in marine monitoring), see 5.1;

c) measurement of visibility by divers in a destined depth, see 5.2.

NOTE The quantitative methods using optical turbidimeters or nephelometers are described in ISO 7027-1.

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.
