Описание (английский):

ISO 5667-15:2009 provides guidance on procedures for the preservation, handling and storage of samples of sewage and waterworks sludge, suspended matter, saltwater sediments and freshwater sediments, until chemical, physical, radiochemical and/or biological examination can be undertaken in the laboratory. The procedures in ISO 5667-15:2009 are only applicable to wet samples of sludge, sediment and suspended matter.

Overview

ISO 5667-15:2009 - Water quality - Sampling - Part 15 provides authoritative guidance on the preservation, handling and storage of wet sludge, sediment and suspended‑matter samples (sewage, waterworks sludge, freshwater and saltwater sediments) up to the point of laboratory examination. It is part of the ISO 5667 series on water quality sampling and applies specifically to wet samples destined for chemical, physical, radiochemical and biological analyses.

Key topics and requirements

Scope and applicability: Procedures apply only to wet sludge, sediments and suspended matter; dried or freeze‑dried sample guidance is covered by other standards.

Preservation principles: Emphasises that preservation should begin immediately after collection to prevent biodegradation, volatilization, redox changes or physical disturbance. No single universal method - collect sub‑samples preserved differently to cover multiple analyses.

Analytical-specific guidance:

Chemical: factors affecting partitioning (pH, redox, salinity, particle size) and effects of freezing/microbial activity.
Physical: preserve structure, texture and layering; avoid agitation or thermal treatments that change physical properties.
Radiochemical: avoid environmental contamination; protect low‑activity samples from laboratory sources.
Biological: different preservation for bioassays vs ecological surveys; microbial assays often require no fixation.

Reagents and examples: Recommends analytical‑grade reagents such as deionized water (ISO 3696 Grade 3), sodium sulfate (pre‑heated), zinc acetate, methanol, ethanol and formaldehyde preparations (e.g., 3.7 % final formaldehyde).

Containers and preparation: Guidance on container selection and preparation to avoid contamination and gas buildup.

Sample handling workflow: Collection, identification, transport, reception, storage and long‑term options (Annexes include container preparation and nitrogen‑vapor freezer storage).

Safety: Staff protection (PPE, vaccination, gas and explosion risks) and sample protection measures.

Documentation and QA: Emphasises labelling, chain of custody and pre‑defined storage conditions and durations (referenced tables in the standard).

Practical applications and users

Environmental laboratories and analysts performing chemical, physical, biological or radiochemical tests

Water and wastewater utilities managing sludge monitoring programs

Environmental consultants conducting sediment impact assessments

Regulatory agencies setting sampling protocols and compliance monitoring

Research institutions studying contaminant fate and sediment ecology

Benefits include improved sample integrity, reproducible analytical results and consistent chain‑of‑custody and safety practices.
