The critical tool to measure and detect microplastics in water

BS ISO 5667-27:2025 is the world’s first globally recognized standard for the sampling of microplastics in water, representing a major step to a unified evaluation of the effects of these emerging pollutants in the environment, food chain and health.  

The  sampling methods set out in BS ISO 5667-27:2025 will help identify the extent that microplastics are present in water offering a more targeted and detailed set of sampling protocols to account for the differences in composition, size/ shape and colonization.

Who this standard is for?

BS ISO 5667-27:2025 provides guidance, helping:

  • Environmental researchers and scientists to produce accurate, credible and comparable results.
  • Government agencies and regulators to frame and enforce regulations more effectively.
  • Water treatment and purification companies to gain a clearer understanding of how their water treatment processes are working.
  • Manufacturers to gain a clearer picture of the extent of microplastic pollution and develop alternatives as a result.
