Water quality - Fresh water algal growth inhibition test with unicellular green algae (ISO 8692:2012)

ISO 8692:2012 specifies a method for the determination of the growth inhibition of unicellular green algae by substances and mixtures contained in water or by waste water. This method is applicable for substances that are easily soluble in water.
With modifications to this method, as specified in ISO 14442 and ISO 5667-16, the inhibitory effects of poorly soluble organic and inorganic materials, volatile compounds, heavy metals and waste water can be tested.
A rapid algal growth inhibition screening test for waste water is described in an annex.
An alternative test procedure with algae from algal beads, with direct measurement of algal growth in spectrophotometric cells, is described in an annex.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Süßwasseralgen-Wachstumshemmtest mit einzelligen Grünalgen (ISO 8692:2012)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wachstumshemmung von einzelligen
Grünalgen durch Substanzen und Substanzmischungen in Wasser oder durch Abwasser fest. Dieses
Verfahren wird für in Wasser leicht lösliche Stoffe eingesetzt.
Unter Berücksichtigung der in ISO 14442 und ISO 5667-16 beschriebenen Modifikationen können auch die
wachstumshemmenden Effekte von schwer löslichen organischen und anorganischen Stoffen, von flüchtigen
Verbindungen, Schwermetallen und Abwasser untersucht werden.
Ein Screening-Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wachstumshemmung von Algen in Abwasser siehe Anhang A.
Für ein alternatives Testverfahren mit Algen aus Algenperlen mit direkter Messung des Algenwachstums in
Spektralphotometer-Küvetten siehe Anhang B.

Qualité de l'eau - Essai d'inhibition de la croissance des algues d'eau douce avec des algues vertes unicellulaires (ISO 8692:2012)

L'ISO 8692:2012 spécifie une méthode de détermination de l'inhibition de la croissance des algues vertes unicellulaires par des substances et des mélanges contenus dans l'eau ou par des eaux résiduaires. Cette méthode peut être utilisée avec des substances aisément solubles dans l'eau.
En apportant à cette méthode les modifications spécifiées dans l'ISO 14442 et l'ISO 5667-16, il est possible d'évaluer les effets inhibiteurs des substances inorganiques et organiques faiblement solubles, des composés volatils, des métaux lourds et des eaux résiduaires.
L'Annexe A décrit un essai de détection rapide de l'inhibition de la croissance des algues par des eaux résiduaires.
L'Annexe B décrit un mode opératoire alternatif utilisant des algues provenant de billes d'alginate avec mesurage direct de la croissance algale dans des cellules spectrophotométriques.

Kakovost vode - Preskus zaviranja rasti sladkovodnih alg z enoceličnimi zelenimi algami (ISO 8692:2012)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za določevanje zaviranja rasti enoceličnih zelenih alg zaradi snovi in zmesi, ki jih vsebuje voda ali odpadna voda. Ta metoda se uporablja za snovi, ki so dobro topne v vodi. Ta metoda se lahko s spremembami, navedenimi v standardih ISO 14442 in ISO 5667-16, uporabi za preskušanje zaviralnih učinkov slabo topnih in anorganskih snovi, hlapnih spojin, težkih kovin in odpadne vode. Hiter presejalni preskus zaviranja rasti alg v odpadni vodi je opisan v dodatku A. V dodatku B je opisan alternativni preskusni postopek z algami iz nizov, ki vključuje neposredno merjenje rasti alg v spektrofotometričnih celicah.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 8692 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 5, Biological methods.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8692:2004), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8692:2012(E)
Water quality — Fresh water algal growth inhibition test with
unicellular green algae
WARNING — Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this International
Standard be carried out by suitably qualified staff.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the growth inhibition of unicellular
green algae by substances and mixtures contained in water or by waste water. This method is applicable for
substances that are easily soluble in water.
With modifications to this method, as specified in ISO 14442 and ISO 5667-16, the inhibitory effects of poorly
soluble organic and inorganic materials, volatile compounds, heavy metals and waste water can be tested.
A rapid algal growth inhibition screening test for waste water is described in Annex A.
An alternative test procedure with algae from algal beads, with direct measurement of algal growth in
spectrophotometric cells, is described in Annex B.
