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).

Introduction
Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) are common environmental contaminants. They are components
of crude oil and products derived from it and are consequently found on a variety of sites including
refineries, sites where they are used as feedstock (e.g. for manufacture of plastics), manufactured gas
production sites, sites where hydrocarbons are used as fuel or lubricants and retail service stations.
They may also be present as a result of spills and leaks during transportation or related to vehicle
accidents.
Petroleum hydrocarbons can present unacceptable risks to the health and safety of humans, ecological
systems, surface water, groundwater resources and to structures and building materials. Measuring
the total concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil (and pore water and pore gas) does not
give a useful basis for the evaluation of the potential risks to man and the environment. The variety of
physical-chemical properties, and thus differences in the migration and fate of individual compounds,
and the toxicity and carcinogenicity of different fractions and compounds in oil products, need to be
taken into account in human health and environmental risk assessments.
Only a limited number of individual compounds can be routinely identified and quantified. It is,
consequently, important to adopt methods of analysis that provide information about the amount of
different hydrocarbon fractions present, preferably distinguishing between aliphatic and aromatic
fractions, and the concentrations of single compounds of particular concern with respect to the
potential health and environmental risks that they pose.
Although most petroleum hydrocarbons found in soil are of anthropogenic nature, there are some
natural sources of these materials and other organic substances (e.g. peat and coal). The analytical
methods historically used for the measurement of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) tend to
measure natural materials as TPH. This issue will not be dealt with in this document, except to note
that a method which is able to give a more precise d
