ISO 9308-1:2000/cor 1:2007 Water quality - Detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria - Part 1: Membrane filtration method; Technical Corrigendum 1
This part of ISO 9308 describes a reference method (Standard Test) for the detection and enumeration of
Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria in water for human consumption. The Standard Test has a low
selectivity, allowing the detection of injured bacteria. Due to the low selectivity, background growth can
interfere with the reliable enumeration of coliform bacteria and E. coli, for example in some drinking waters,
like shallow well waters or surface waters. This method is not suitable for these types of water. The Standard
Test is based on membrane filtration, subsequent culture on a differential agar medium and calculation of the
number of target organisms in the sample.
