BS EN ISO 11348-3:2008+A1:2018

This standard BS EN ISO 11348-3:2008+A1:2018 Water quality. Determination of the inhibitory effect of water samples on the light emission of Vibrio fischeri (Luminescent bacteria test) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.060.70 Examination of biological properties of water

ISO 11348 describes three methods for determining the inhibition of the luminescence emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri (NRRL B-11177). This part of ISO 11348 specifies a method using freeze-dried bacteria.

This method is applicable to:

• waste water;

• aqueous extracts and leachates;

• fresh water (surface and ground water);

• sea and brackish water;

• eluates of sediment (freshwater, brackish and sea water);

• pore water;

• single substances, diluted in water.
