This European Standard specifies determination of the biochemical oxygen demand of waters of undiluted samples. This standard is applicable to all waters having biochemical oxygen demands greater than or equal to the limit of determination 0,5 mg/l of oxygen and not exceeding 6 mg/l of oxygen.

This document specifies requirements and contains guidance for its use in establishing, implementing and maintaining a water efficiency management system. It is applicable to organizations of all types and sizes that use water. It is focused on end-use consumers. This document is applicable to any organization that wishes to: a) achieve the efficient use of water through the ?reduce, replace or reuse' approach; b) establish, implement and maintain water efficiency; c) continually improve water e...view more

This document provides guidelines for evaluating the performance of treatment systems on the basis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In order to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from a treatment system, this document covers the estimate, types of GHG emission and sources, emission factor for each GHG, and global warming potential. The weight of greenhouse gases to be used in an evaluation is equivalent to emissions during operation of a treatment system. This document also defines a method for...view more

This document specifies design, materials selection, construction and operation of Purified Water (PW) and Water for Injection (WFI) pretreatment and membrane-based production systems. As many different types of feed water are possible, different components and configurations are presented. A decision matrix is provided to give guidance for the different types of feed water. This document excludes — selection of the appropriate compendial water definition per system: e.g. PW, WFI or other; — the...view more

This document sets out the general principles for, and provides guidance on, the quantitative characterization of the energy consumed by industrial biological wastewater treatment systems. It does not aim to characterize the treatment pollutants removal performance or process reliability or any other consideration in the selection of a wastewater treatment system. This document includes the following sub-systems of biological treatment system: — Biological reactors, which might be suspended grow...view more

This document specifies guidelines for technical aspects, tools and good practices for the management of assets of waterworks to maintain value from existing assets. This document includes the following asset types: treatment plants, sludge treatment facilities, pumping stations, reservoirs, tanks and dosing equipment, metering and ancillary infrastructure irrespective of where they are sited, in the waterworks or in the drinking water distribution network. For further guidance on drinking water...view more

This document specifies guidelines for technical aspects, tools and good practices for the management of assets of wastewater treatment plants, sludge treatment facilities, pumping stations, and retention and detention facilities in the wastewater system to maintain the value of existing assets. NOTE 1 For simplicity in reading this document, reference to wastewater treatment plants includes all the asset types described above. For further guidance on wastewater networks see ISO 24516-3. NOTE 2 ...view more

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 desti...view more

This document defines terms and definitions commonly used in water reuse standards.

This document provides guidelines for water quality grade classification to help users determine the suitability and quality of the reclaimed water for safe non-potable reuse applications, based on the level of exposure. The intention is to enable the water quality grade to be identified at the point of use.
