The Revised EN ISO 7704:2023 is Advancing Water Quality Analysis, Is Your Lab Keeping Up?
Author: Dr. Nils Jäger
Overview
EN ISO 7704:2023 specifies the performance testing requirements of membrane filters used in water quality analysis. The revised standard establishes a strict framework for assessing the combined performance testing of membrane filters together with the test culture media.
Although initially applying the new standard could cost money and require additional staff training, there will be clear benefits. The interview points out practical ways labs can handle the challenges of the revised EN ISO 7704:2023 and maintain or gain accredited status.
