IS 17614 : Part 3 : 2024/ISO 5667-3 : 2024 Water Quality - Sampling - Part 3 Preservation and Handling of Water Samples
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 3) (First Revision) which is identical to ISO 5667-3 : 2024 'Water quality - Sampling - Part 3 : Preservation and handling of water samples' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of Water Quality Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.
The Indian Standard IS 17614 has been published in several parts under the general title 'Water Quality - Sampling'.This part of IS 17614 specifies the general requirements for sampling, preservation, handling, transport and storage of all water samples for physicochemical, chemical, hydro-biological and microbiological analyses and determination of radiochemical analytes and activities. This standard is particularly appropriate when samples cannot be analyzed on site and have to be transported to a laboratory for analysis. The other parts of this series are:
| IS No. | Title |
| IS 17614 : 2021 | Water quality - Sampling |
| Part 1 | Guidance on the design of sampling programmes and sampling techniques |
| Part 4 | Guidance on sampling from lakes, natural and man-made |
| Part 5 | Guidance on sampling of drinking water from treatment works and piped distribution systems |
| Part 6 | Guidance on sampling of rivers and streams |
| Part 7 | Guidance on sampling of water and steam in boiler plants |
| Part 8 | Guidance on the sampling of wet deposition |
| Part 9 | Guidance on sampling from marine waters |
| Part 10 | Guidance on sampling of waste waters |
| Part 12 | Guidance on sampling of bottom sediments from rivers, lakes and estuarine areas |
| Part 13 | Guidance on sampling of sludges |
| Part 14 | Guidance on quality assurances and quality control of environmental water sampling and handling |
| Part 15 | Guidance on the preservation and handling of sludge and sediment samples |
| Part 16 | Guidance on biotesting of samples |
| Part 17 | Guidance on sampling of bulk suspended solids |
| Part 19 | Guidance on sampling of marine sediments |
| Part 20 | Guidance on the use of sampling data for decision making - Compliance with thresholds and classification systems |
| Part 22 | Guidance on the design and installation of groundwater monitoring points |
| Part 23 | Guidance on passive sampling in surface waters |
| Part 24 | Guidance on the auditing of water quality sampling |
| Part 25 | Microbiological analysis |
This standard (Part 3) was published in 2021 as an identical adoption of ISO 5667-3 : 2018 under dual numbering. This first revision has been brought out to adopt the latest version of ISO 5667-3 published in 2024. In this revision, following modifications have been incorporated:
a) ISO/TS 5667-25 has been added as a reference;
b) A flow diagram from preservation and storage of water samples has been added;
c) References in Table A.1 have been updated;
d) References in Table A.2 and A.3 have been added;
e) The previous Table A.1 has been split into Table A.1 on inorganic analytes and Table A.2 on organic analytes;
f) Table A.4 on microbiological analysis has been added;
g) Types of water have been added to Tables A.1 to A.5; and
h) The added terms used in Tables A.1 to A.5 have been explained.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Whenever the words 'this document'; appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'this Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
