Wasserbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung der Gesamt-Alpha- und Gesamt-Beta-Aktivität in nicht-salzhaltigem Wasser - Verfahren mit dem Flüssigszintillationszähler (ISO 11704:2010); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 11704:2015
Overview
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity in waters for radionuclides which are not volatile at 80 °C. Radon isotopes and their decay products of short half-life are not included in the determination. The method is applicable to raw and potable waters with a dry residue less than 5 g/l and when no correction for colour quenching is necessary. The text of ISO 11704:2010 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147 "Water quality" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adopted as EN ISO 11704:2015 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 230 "Water Analysis", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 119-01-03 AA "Wasseruntersuchung" ("Water examination") at DIN Standards Committee Water Practice (NAW).
