La présente partie de l'ISO 8689 fixe les lignes directrices pour la présentation des données de qualité biologique relatives aux eaux courantes, à partir d'études des macro-invertébrés benthiques. Les lignes directrices sont applicables aux résultats des études utilisant des méthodes normalisées d'échantillonnage, et les procédures de classification indiquées dans l'ISO 8689-1. Il est reconnu que pour une évaluation complète de l'état écologique, il convient d'évaluer d'autres éléments de la qualité biologique.NOTE L'ISO 8689-1 donne une explication de la comparaison des différents indices utilisés dans les analyses d'études des macro-invertébrés benthiques.

Overview
EN ISO 8689-2:2000 provides comprehensive guidance on the presentation of biological quality data obtained from surveys of benthic macroinvertebrates in rivers and running waters. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adopted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), this standard forms Part 2 of the biological classification of rivers series. It complements ISO 8689-1, focusing specifically on how to present biological survey data clearly and effectively for water quality assessment.
This standard addresses the need for consistent, scientifically robust methods to display biological quality based on benthic macroinvertebrate communities-key indicators of river health. Using color-coded maps to represent biological classes, EN ISO 8689-2 facilitates uniform communication of ecological status, pollution levels, and habitat quality across different regions and users.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
Guidance is provided for presenting data from standard biological surveys of benthic macroinvertebrates, supporting the effective classification of river water quality.Sampling Requirements
Sampling must comply with ISO standards such as ISO 5667-3 (sample preservation), ISO 7828 (hand-net sampling), ISO 8265 (quantitative samplers), and ISO 9391 (deep-water sampling), ensuring data reliability and comparability.Biological Classification
Classification schemes correspond to those in ISO 8689-1, interpreting macroinvertebrate data to classify river reaches based on ecological quality.Presentation Format
The primary output is a color-coded map, depicting river reaches segmented by biological quality classes. Colors represent quality levels from high to bad:- Blue: High quality
- Green: Good
- Yellow: Moderate
- Orange: Poor
- Red: Bad
- Black: Absence of indicator organisms (not part of classification)
Survey Design and Representative Sites
River courses are divided into reaches with consistent biological quality. Sampling sites must effectively represent these reaches.Map Details
Maps should include:- Names of watercourses
- Upstream and downstream limits of reaches
- Sampling site locations
- Flow direction
- Clear classification color coding
Handling Incomplete Data
Reaches without survey data should be clearly marked with fine black lines to maintain clarity of the overall study area.
Applications
EN ISO 8689-2:2000 is essential for environmental scientists, water resource managers, and regulatory authorities involved in:
Water Quality Monitoring
Offering a standardized approach to translating biological survey data into actionable water quality maps.Ecological Assessment
Facilitating the detection of pollution and ecological changes in river ecosystems through biological indicators.Resource Management & Conservation
Assisting in habitat restoration planning and conservation strategies by identifying areas of varying biological quality.Compliance & Reporting
Supporting adherence to environmental directives and providing a clear visual tool for reporting on river health status.
Related Standards
This standard builds upon and references several related ISO publications critical for comprehensive water quality assessment:
- ISO 8689-1: Guidance on interpreting biological quality data from benthic macroinvertebrate surveys.
- ISO 5667-3: Sampling guidelines with focus on sample preservation for water quality analysis.
- ISO 7828: Biological sampling methods using hand-nets for aquatic macroinvertebrates.
- ISO 8265 & ISO 9391: Quantitative sampling methods designed for various aquatic substrates and depths.
Together, these standards ensure a harmonized approach to surveying, analyzing, and presenting biological data that accurately reflects the health of river ecosystems.
EN ISO 8689-2:2000 plays a pivotal role in the biological classification of rivers, enabling consistent and visually effective communication of vital environmental data. It is a key tool for stakeholders seeking reliable water quality monitoring and ecological decision-making through the lens of benthic macroinvertebrate surveys.
