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
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 48, Laboratory equipment, in collaboration
with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 332, Laboratory
equipment, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8655-4:2002), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 8655-4:2002/Cor.1:2008.
The main changes are as follows:
— ISO 8655-7 has been added as a normative reference;
— Tables 1 and 2 have been revised.
A list of all parts in the ISO 8655 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
The ISO 8655 series addresses the needs of:
— manufacturers, as a basis for quality control including, where appropriate, the issuance of
manufacturer’s declarations;
— calibration laboratories, test houses, users of the equipment and other bodies as a basis for
independent calibration, testing, verification and routine tests.
The tests specified in the ISO 8655 series are intended to be carried out by trained personnel.

Piston-operated volumetric apparatus —
Part 4:
Dilutors
1 Scope
This document specifies
— metrological requirements,
— maximum permissible errors,
— requirements for marking and
— information to be provided for users,
for dilutors with a sample uptake capacity (In) from 5 μl to 1 ml and a diluent capacity (Ex) from 50 μl
to 100 ml. They are designed to deliver the sample and diluent together in measured proportion and
measured volume.

4 Principle of operation
A dilutor is designed to aspirate accurately a measured volume of a sample liquid and to deliver it
together with an accurately measured volume of diluent. Dilutors can be operated manually, electrically,
pneumatically or hydraulically and can be hand-held, bottle-top mounting or free-standing bench-top
