ISO 8573-7 Compressed Air - Test Method for Viable Microbiological Contaminant Content

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 8573-7 testing. ISO 8573-7 specifies a test method for distinguishing live, colony-forming microbiological organisms (e.g. yeast, bacteria, endotoxins) from other solid particles that may be present in compressed air.

ISO 8573-7 Compressed Air - Test Method for Viable Microbiological Contaminant Content

It is one of a set of standards aimed at harmonizing air pollution measurements, providing a means for sampling, incubating and quantifying microbiological particles. The test method is suitable for the determination of purity classes in accordance with ISO 8573-1 and is also intended for use in conjunction with ISO 8573-4 when it is necessary to identify solid particles that are viable, colony-forming units.

The standard provides a standardized method for measuring the concentration of live microbiological contaminants, such as bacteria and fungi, in compressed air. Outlines procedures for sample collection, cultivation, and enumeration of microorganisms.

ISO 8573-7 describes the sampling procedures to be followed, including sampling frequency, location of sampling points, and sample handling techniques. Appropriate sampling is important to obtain representative results.

The standard specifies the test conditions, such as temperature and pressure, under which microbiological tests must be performed to ensure consistency and comparability of results.

Compliance with ISO 8573-7 helps organizations in industries with stringent microbiological quality requirements ensure that their compressed air systems do not contain microbiological contaminants that could compromise product quality, safety or regulatory compliance. Appropriate microbiological testing and adherence to these standards are essential to maintain the quality and integrity of compressed air in sensitive applications.
