Annex A (informative) A priori determination of the number
                      of samples to analyse to determine the
                      mean concentration of microbes in water
                      with a given confidence, for quantitative

Provides guidance on planning water sampling regimes, on sampling procedures for microbiological analysis and on transport, handling and storage of samples until analysis begins. It focuses on sampling for microbiological investigations.

This International Standard provides guidance on planning water sampling regimes, on sampling procedures for microbiological analysis and on transport, handling and storage of samples until analysis begins. It focuses on sampling for microbiological investigations.

General information in respect to the sampling from distinct water bodies is given in the respective parts of ISO5667.
