It is the [bar's responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method fac waters of untested matrices. 14 This standard does nor purport 10 address all of the ‘wiry concerns, if any, associated with its use. It 1s the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish anpro- rate safety and health practices and determine the applica- Bity of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Terminology 3.1 Definitions—For definitions of terms used in this ‘method refer to Terminology D 1129. 3.2 Definitions: 3.2.1 calibration turbidity standard—a wrbidity standard that is traceable and equivalent to the reference turbidity standard to within statistical errors, including commercially prepared 4000 NTU Formazin, stabilized formazin (see 9.2.3), and styrenedivinylbenzene (SDVB) (see 9.2.4). These stan- dards may be used to calibrate the instrument. None 1~Calietion standards may be instrument speci. 3.22 calibration verification standards—defined standards ‘used to verity the accuracy of a calibration in the measurement range of interest. These standards may not be used to perform calibrations, only calibration verification. Included standards ane opto-mechanical ight scatter devices, gel-like standards, or any other type of stable liquid standard, Noe 2—Calibaton verifcation standards maybe instrament pei 3.23 nephelometric turbidity measurement—the measure- ament of light seater from a sample ina direction tha is at 0° with respect to the centerline ofthe incident light path. Units are NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units); when SO 7027 technology is employed units are in FNU (Formazin Nepelo- metric Units). 3.24 ratio urbidity measurement—the measurement de- rived through the use of a nephelometric detector that serves as the primary detector and one or more other detectors used to compensate for variation in incident light fuctuaion, stray light, instrament noise, or sample color. 3.2.5 reference turbidity standard—a standard that is syn- thesized reproducibly from traceable raw materials by a skilled analyst, Al other standards are traced back to this standard The reference standard for turbidity is formazin (see 9.2.2) 3.2.6 seasoning—the process of conditioning laboratory slassware with the standard to be diluted to alower value.
