It does nor give information on. the nature of the organic substance. 1 Scope ‘This Buropean Standard gives gukdanee for th determination of organie carbon in drinking water, sround water, surface water, sea water and waste ‘water Icdeals with definitions, interferences, reagents, ‘nd the sample pretreatment of water samples with 2 content of organic carbon ranging from 0,3 maf to 1000 mg/l while the lower value is only applicable i special cases, for example drinking water, measured ‘with instruments capable of measuring these low levels. Higher concentrations may be determined after appropriate dilution. This European Standard does not deal with the instrument-) all data required for a complete identification of the sample; ©) details concerning the storage of the laboratory ‘samples before analysis; ineluding the time between sampling and analysis 4) sample pretreatment (time for settlement, filtration), 6) the mass concentration of TOC and DOC respectively in the sample, in milligrams per litre; 1) detalls of any deviation from the procedure specified in this European Standard or any other ‘circumstances that may have influenced the result © st 1907Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Oct 30 13:35:01 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BS!
