TS 4516 ISO 6107-2

TS 4516 ISO 6107-2 is a terminology standard for water quality, providing definitions for terms used in water sampling, water analysis, and certain related expressions. Its role is to standardise the language used to describe water quality characteristics, helping laboratories, monitoring programmes, and technical reports use the same terms consistently.

Where Part 2 fits in the water quality vocabulary

Standards of the “Vocabulary” type do not introduce a new test method or measurement procedure; they organise concepts and definitions. In this part, the focus is on terminology connected with sampling of water, analytical work, and other terms relevant to water quality characterisation. In general technical practice, this supports consistent use of concepts such as sample, analysis, measurement, and assessment across different organisations and disciplines.

Typical technical context and boundaries

• The subject is water-quality terminology; the title and abstract do not establish a specific test method, instrument, or numerical acceptance limit.
• The document defines selected terms associated with water sampling and water analysis.
• As an ISO 6107-2-based part, it belongs to a broader vocabulary structure that complements the terminology of the overall subject area.
• In practical use, standards of this kind support environmental monitoring, water treatment work, laboratory reporting, and data comparability.

This TS 4516 ISO 6107-2 record is shown as withdrawn. Even so, it remains useful as a conceptual reference for understanding how water-quality language is organised, especially where sampling and analysis terms need to be distinguished clearly.
