It is identical with ISO 10304-3:1997. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee EH/3, Water quality, to Subcommittee EH/3/2, Physical, chemical and biochemical methods, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. BS EN ISO 10304-3 is one of a series of standards on water quality, others of which have been, or will be, published as Sections of BS 6068. This standard has therefore been given the secondary identifier BS 6068-2.59. The various Sections of BS 6068 are comprised within Parts 1 to 7, which, together with Part 0, are listed below. Part 0: Introduction; Part 1: Glossary; Part 2: Physical, chemical and biochemical methods; Part 3: Radiological methods; Part 4: Microbiological methods; Part 5: Biological methods; Part 6: Sampling; Part 7: Precision and accuracy. NOTEThe tests described in this British Standard should only be carried out by suitably qualified persons with an appropriate level of chemical expertise. Standard chemical procedures should be followed throughout. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publications. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN ISO title page, page 2, the ISO title page, pages ii to iv, pages 1 to 15 and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.

The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 10304-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, SC 2, Physical, chemical and biochemical methods. ISO 10304 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water quality Determination of dissolved anions by liquid chromatography of ions: Part 1: Determination of fluoride, chloride, bromide, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate and sulfate in water with low contamination; Part 2: Determination of bromide, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate and sulfate in waste water; Part 3: Determination of chromate, iodide, sulfite, thiocyanate and thiosulfate; Part 4: Determination of chlorate, chloride and chlorite in water with low contamination. Annex A and Annex B of this part of ISO 10304 are for information only.

For further information on the analytical technique, see reference 1. 1 Scope This part of ISO 10304 specifies methods for the determination in aqueous solution of the dissolved anions iodide, thiocyanate and thiosulfate (clause 4); sulfite (clause 5); chromate (clause 6). An appropriate pretreatment of the sample (e.g. dilution) and the application of a conductivity detector (CD), UV detector (UV) or amperometric detector (AD) make the working ranges given in Table 1 feasible. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 10304. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.

ISO 10304-2:1995, Water quality Determination of dissolved anions by liquid chromatography of ions Part 2: Determination of bromide, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate and sulfate in waste water. 3 Principle 3.1 Separation of ions is carried out by liquid chromatography using a separating column. A low capacity anion exchanger is used as the stationary phase, and usually aqueous solutions of salts of weak monobasic and dibasic acids as mobile phases (eluent, see 4.1.16, 5.1.4, 6.1.9). 3.2 The addition of organic agents, such as 4-hydroxybenzonitrile (see 4.1.16.2.2, 4.3.4), or organic solvents to the eluent can be used to speed up the elution or reduce the tailing effects, especially for the analysis of the more strongly polarizable ions iodide, thiocyanate and thiosulfate. a) Resolution of the column: For the anion to be determined it is essential that the peak resolution does not fall below R = 1,3 (4.2.2, Figure 3) b) Method of detection: 1) measurement of the electrical conductivity with or without suppressor device 2) spectrometric measurement (UV/VIS), directly or indirectly 3) amperometric direct detection c) Applicability of the method: Working ranges according to Table 1 d) Calibration (4.5.1): Calibration and determination of the linear working range (see ISO 8466-1) Guaranteeing the analytical quality: Validity check of the calibration function. Replicate determinations if necessary.

For this reason, conductivity detectors are often combined with suppressor devices (cation exchangers) which will reduce the conductivity of the eluents and transform the sample species into their respective ac
