Water quality - Sampling - Guidance on the design of sampling programs, sampling techniques and the preservation and handling of samples
Provides general principles to be applied in the design of sampling programs, general guidance on sampling techniques and guidance on the procedures to be taken to preserve and transport samples for the physical, chemical and radiological analysis of waters and wastewaters, including bottom sediment and sludges, for the purposes of process control, quality characterization, identification of sources of pollution, compliance with water quality guidelines or standards, and other specific reasons.
