BS EN 872:2005

This standard BS EN 872:2005 Water quality. Determination of suspended solids. Method by filtration through glass fibre filters is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.060.30 Sewage water

This European Standard describes a method for the determination of suspended solids in raw waters, waste waters and effluents by filtration through glass fibre filters. The lower limit of the determination is about 2 mg/l. No upper limit has been established. Water samples are not always stable which means that the content of suspended solids depends on storage time, means of transportation, pH value and other circumstances. Results obtained with unstable samples should be interpreted with caution.
