Principles for the analysis of microplastics present in the environment (ISO 24187:2023)
This document describes the principles to be followed in the analysis of microplastics in various environmental matrices. This includes the unique particle size classification of plastics, the use of certain apparatus with regard to sampling, sample preparation, and the determination of representative sample quantities.
The purpose of this document is to specify minimum requirements until specific standards for the different case situations are available. This is important to ensure that the development of the specific standards is done on a consistent basis to ensure that comparison or correlation of results is possible.
This document does not include requirements for monitoring actions.
Grundsätze für die Analyse von Mikroplastik in der Umwelt (ISO 24187:2023)
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Grundsätze, die bei der Analyse von Mikrokunststoffen in verschiedenen Umweltmatrizes zu befolgen sind. Dazu gehören die Größenklassifizierung einzelner Kunststoffpartikel, die Verwendung bestimmter Apparaturen für die Probenahme, Probenaufbereitung und die Bestimmung von repräsentativen Probenmengen.
Zweck dieses Dokuments ist es, Mindestanforderungen festzulegen, bis spezifische Normen für die verschiedenen Fallsituationen verfügbar sind. Dies ist wichtig, um sicherzustellen, dass die Entwicklung der spezifischen Normen auf einer konsistenten Grundlage erfolgt, um sicherzustellen, dass ein Vergleich oder eine Korrelation von Ergebnissen möglich ist.
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Anforderungen für Überwachungsmaßnahmen.
Principes d'analyse des microplastiques présents dans l'environnement (ISO 24187:2023)
Le présent document décrit les principes à suivre pour l’analyse des microplastiques dans diverses matrices environnementales. Cela implique une classification unique de la granulométrie des plastiques, l’utilisation de certains appareillages pour l’échantillonnage, la préparation des échantillons, et la détermination de quantités d’échantillon représentatives.
L’objectif du présent document est de spécifier les exigences minimales jusqu’à ce que des normes spécifiques soient disponibles pour les différents cas de figure. Cela est important pour s’assurer que l’élaboration des normes spécifiques est réalisée sur une base cohérente qui garantit que la comparaison ou la corrélation des résultats est possible.
Le présent document n’inclut pas d’exigences pour assurer le suivi des actions menées.
Načela za analizo mikroplastike v okolju (ISO 24187:2023)
Oblikovanje tehničnih načel, ki se bodo vsesplošno uporabljala za prihodnje standardizacijske
projekte o preskusnih metodah za plastiko in mikroplastiko v različnih matricah (zlasti v vodi, zemlji,
kompostu, blatu iz čistilnih naprav, živih organizmih). To vključuje:
– opis potrebnih delovnih pogojev v laboratoriju;
– opis potrebnih delovnih pogojev na terenu;
– varnostna navodila;
– predloge za uskladitev razredov velikosti, ki jih je treba upoštevati;
– predloge za uskladitev navedbe rezultatov;
– opombe o posebnih značilnostih matric v zvezi z reprezentativnostjo rezultatov.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
