Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 8199 : 2018 was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Drinking Water and Carbonated Beverages Sectional Committee had been approved by the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 2002 and was subsequently revised in 2012. The first revision of the standard was identical with ISO 8199 : 2005 ‘Water quality - General guidance on the enumeration of micro-organisms by culture’. The second revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of the ISO 8199 : 2018.
