DIN ISO 18589-2:2009 Measurement of radioactivity in the environment - Soil - Part 2: Guidance for the selection of the sampling strategy, sampling and pre-treatment of samples (ISO 18589-2:2007); English version of DIN ISO 18589-2:2009-02
This part of ISO 18589 specifies the general requirements, based on ISO 11074 and ISO/IEC 17025, for all
steps in the planning (desk study and area reconnaissance) of the sampling and the preparation of samples
for testing. It includes the selection of the sampling strategy, the outline of the sampling plan, the presentation
of general sampling methods and equipment, as well as the methodology of the pre-treatment of samples
adapted to the measurements of the activity of radionuclides in soil.
This part of ISO 18589 is addressed to the people responsible for determining the radioactivity present in soi
for the purpose of radiation protection. It is applicable to soil from gardens, farmland, urban or industrial sites
as well as soil not affected by human activities.
This part of ISO 18589 is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the range of
the testing performed. When a laboratory does not undertake one or more of the activities covered by this part
of ISO 18589, such as planning, sampling or testing, the corresponding requirements do not apply.
