BS 6068-6.9 guides the principles to be applied to the design of sampling programs, sampling techniques, and the handling and preservation of samples of seawater from tidal waters (for example, estuaries and tidal inlets, coastal regions, and the open sea).
BS 6068-6.9 does not apply to the collection of samples for microbiological or biological examination. General guidance on sampling for microbiological purposes is given in ISO 8199.
BS 6068-6.9 on Water quality are useful for:
BS 6068-6.9 guides methods and procedures for sampling marine water and assists you in ensuring a reduced risk of severe health issues.
BS 6068-6.9 provides quality control and characterization measures, guidance on sampling equipment for automatic and manual sampling, which are important to improving the quality of marine water.
BS 6068-6.9 helps the end-user to determine the most suitable sampling method to use for a particular analysis and, second, to help those commissioning new identification guides to produce ‘fit-for-purpose’ specifications, and those writing keys to meet such specifications.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6068-6.9, you can enhance the efficacy of the water and manufacture a standardized product.
