5 Standards ISO 11731: 1998 ISO : 24 T9-431:214 (France) AZ/NZS 3896: 28 (Australia/New Zealand) Standard Methods (USA) NEN 6265:27 (Netherlands) WAC/V/A/5:214 (Belgium)

6 ISO 11731: 1998

7 ISO 11731: 1998 Scope All kinds of environmental samples including potable, industrial and natural waters and associated materials such as sediments, deposits and slime. Membrane filters Nylon of polycarbonate Sampling Transport (6-18) C within two days

8 ISO 11731: 1998 Procedure Direct plating (>15 cfu/l Legionella) Membrane filtration (wash method) Centrifugation Dilution (high concentration non Legionella)

9 ISO 11731: 1998 Treatment Untreated Heat treatment (5 C for 3 minutes) Acid treatment (ph 2,2 for 5 minutes) Culture media GVPC BCYE and BCYE-cys for confirmation ph culture media (6,9 ±,4)

10 ISO 11731: 1998 Examination Three occasions at intervals of two days to four days during the 1 days incubation.

11 ISO : 24

12 ISO : 24 Scope Water intended for human use (e.g. hot and cold water, water used for washing), for human consumption and for treated bathing waters (e.g. swimming pools). It is especially suitable for waters expected to contain low numbers of Legionella. As the growth of Legionella may be inhibited by overgrowth of other bacterial colonies on the membrane, the method is only suitable for waters containing low bacterial counts.

13 ISO : 24 Sampling Same working day, transport at ambient temperature Otherwise, cool samples (5 ± 3) C and start analyses within two days

14 ISO : 24 Membrane filtration black nitrocellulose membrane filter Treatment Acid treatment (ph 2,2 for 5 minutes) Culture media GVPC BCYE and BCYE-cys for confirmation ph culture media (6,8 ±,2)

15 ISO : 24 Examination At least two occasions starting at day three or four during the 1 day incubation time.

16 ISO 11731:217

17 ISO 11731:217 1 Scope These methods are applicable to all kinds of water samples including potable, industrial, waste and natural waters. These methods can be used for water related matrices, e.g. biofilms, sediments, etc.

18 5.5 Membrane filter (1) Membrane filter for concentration and elution Polycarbonate or polyethersulfone membrane filters, diameter 47 mm to 142 mm with rated pore sizes of,2 μm; see Reference [4]. These types of membrane filters are used for concentration followed by a washing procedure.

23 5.5 Membrane filter (2) Membrane filter for direct placing on culture media Membrane filters from cellulose nitrate or mixed cellulose esters, diameter 47 mm to 5 mm with rated pore sizes of,2 μm or,45 μm. These types of membrane filters are used for direct placing onto the culture media after filtration. Filters shall be evaluated prior to use in accordance with ISO 774. NOTE Black membrane filters contrast better with the white Legionella colonies than light-coloured membrane filters.
