scope:

This International Standard specifies FIA and CFA methods for the determination of chromium (VI) and the sum of chromium (VI) and chromium (III) in various types of water. The method applies to the following mass concentration ranges: 1.1 Chromium (VI) FIA: 20 µg/l to 200 µg/l and 200 µg/l to 2 000 µg/l for surface water, leachates and waste water. CFA: 2 µg/l to 20 µg/l and 20 µg/l to 200 µg/l for drinking water, ground water, surface water, leachates and waste water 1.2 Sum of chromium (VI) and chromium (III) 200 µg/l to 2 000 µg/l (FIA and CFA). The range of application may be changed by varying the operating conditions. Seawater may be analysed by these methods with changes in sensitivity after adaptation of the reagent and calibration solutions to the salinity of the samples.
