This International Standard specifies an instrumental method for the routine determination of pH using a glass
electrode in a 1:5 (volume fraction) suspension of soil in water (pH in H20), in 1 mol/I potassium chloride
solution (pH in KCI) or in 0,01 mol/I calcium chloride solution (pH in CaCI2).
This International Standard is applicable to all types of air-dried soil samples, for example pretreated in
accordance with ISO 11464.
