BS ISO 13164-4:2015 describes a test method for the determination of radon-222 (222Rn) activity
concentration in non-saline waters by extraction and liquid scintillation counting.The radon-222 activity concentrations, which can be measured by this test method utilizing currently
available instruments, are at least above 0,5 Bq l-1 for a 10 ml test sample and a measuring time of 1 h.This test method can be used successfully with drinking water samples and it is the responsibility of the
laboratory to ensure the validity of this test method for water samples of untested matrices.
Annex A gives indication on the necessary counting conditions to meet the required detection limits for
drinking water monitoring.Cross References:ISO 3696ISO 80000-10ISO/IEC 17025ASTM D5072-09ISO 8258ISO/IEC Guide 98-3GUM:1995EURACHEM/CITAC Guide CG4:2012ISO 5667-1ISO 5667-3ISO 5667-14ISO 11929ISO 13164-1All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
