Overview
ISO 6107:2021/PRF Amd 1 – Water quality - Vocabulary - Amendment 1 is a draft amendment to the foundational international standard ISO 6107, which provides precise and harmonized terminology for the field of water quality. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 147/SC 1 (Terminology) and managed by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), this amendment reflects the need to keep technical vocabulary current, clear, and in alignment with scientific progress and evolving regulatory frameworks worldwide.
Key Topics
ISO 6107:2021/PRF Amd 1 introduces updated definitions and clarifications essential for water quality professionals, regulatory bodies, and laboratories. Major revised entries include:
- Abiotic Degradation: Newly defined as the chemical or physical breakdown of substances into smaller particles, including processes such as hydrolysis and photolysis.
- Coliform Bacteria: Updated to articulate characteristics of total coliform organisms, which are gram-negative, non-spore-forming, cytochrome oxidase-negative, rod-shaped bacteria capable of aerobic and facultatively anaerobic growth in the presence of bile salts or similar agents.
- Interstitial Water: Now specified as water that is retained between solid particles, occupying the interstitial spaces in soils or sediments.
These vocabulary refinements ensure that all stakeholders in the water sector-scientists, engineers, policymakers, and industry practitioners-use consistent and precise language for communication, reporting, and compliance.
Applications
The practical value of ISO 6107:2021/PRF Amd 1 lies in its applicability across the entire water quality management spectrum:
- Laboratory Analysis: Standardized definitions aid laboratories in interpreting analytical methods, reporting results accurately, and maintaining compliance with global best practices.
- Regulatory Compliance: Clear, updated terminology supports regulatory agencies in drafting, implementing, and enforcing water quality regulations that are both transparent and internationally harmonized.
- Technical Reporting: Water utilities, consultants, and industries benefit from using globally recognized vocabulary in technical documents, project reports, incident responses, and data management.
- Education and Training: This standard ensures that academic materials and professional development programs for water quality mirror the latest internationally accepted terminology, reducing misinterpretation and improving training outcomes.
- Scientific Research: Researchers referencing ISO terminology facilitate comparability of data and literature across borders and disciplines.
By providing well-defined, authoritative terminology for key water quality concepts such as abiotic degradation, coliform bacteria, and interstitial water, this amendment minimizes ambiguity and fosters alignment across the water sector.
Related Standards
For comprehensive integration and further guidance, ISO 6107:2021/PRF Amd 1 should be considered in the context of the broader suite of ISO water quality standards, including but not limited to:
- ISO 6107:2021: The base vocabulary standard for water quality, incorporating a wide range of technical terms.
- ISO 5667 series: Guidance on water sampling techniques.
- ISO 19458: Water sampling for microbiological analysis.
- ISO 10523: Determination of pH in water.
- ISO 20760 and ISO 24510 series: Water services and infrastructure vocabulary and guidelines.
Understanding and applying ISO-standardized terminology enhances quality assurance, regulatory alignment, and international cooperation in water quality monitoring, assessment, and management.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le
droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux.
