About

Scope

Standardization of the methods for characterizing, categorizing, preparing, treating, recycling and managing sludge and products from urban wastewater collection systems, night soil, storm water handling, water supply treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants for urban and similar industrial waters. It includes all sludge that may have similar environmental and/or health impacts.

Standardization of measurement methods for characterizing and categorizing encompasses: sampling methods, physical, chemical and microbiological parameters analysis, preparation of sludge, physical behaviour of sludge, all required for the characterization of sludge with a view to facilitate decisions on the choice of the treatment procedures and of the use and disposal of sludge.

Excluded:

  • hazardous sludge from industry and dredged sludge already covered by ISO/TC 190 "Soil Quality"
