This British Standard gives recommendations and guidance on the sampling of water and related materials for determination of the presence of organisms of the genus Legionella. it is applicable to sampling artificial water systems and also gives methods for sampling of biofilms and sediments that might be present in water systems. Some of the same sampling principles can be applied to natural water systems.
The standard is applicable to both sampling for routine monitoring and in outbreak investigations. For the latter, recommendations and guidance on the selection of sampling points are given. The rationale for the selection of sampling points for particular situations is also discussed.
This British Standard is intended for use by all those involved in water sampling for legionellae including the persons taking samples on site and their employers.
