BS EN ISO 10710:2013

This standard BS EN ISO 10710:2013 Water quality. Growth inhibition test with the marine and brackish water macroalga Ceramium tenuicorne is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.060.70 Examination of biological properties of water

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the inhibition of growth of the macroalga Ceramium tenuicorne by substances and mixtures contained in seawater or by waste water with salinities between 4S and 32S. This method is applicable to substances that are easily soluble in water.

NOTE With modifications as described in ISO 14442^[4] and ISO 5667-16^[2], the inhibitory effects of poorly soluble organic and inorganic materials, volatile compounds, metals, waste water, marine water samples, and elutriates of sediments can be tested.
