This International Standard describes a method for the determination of organic plant treatment agents in drinking and ground water using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection after solid-liquid extraction.

The method described in this International Standard is applicable to the determination of selected plant treatment agents and some of their main degradation products (metabolites) in drinking water with a validated reporting limit of about 0,1 μg/l. Limited additional data indicate that it can be extended to 0,05 μg/l (see table 1 for examples). The method may be extended to include additional substances and ground water, provided the method is validated for each individual case.

The selection of the plant treatment agents and main degradation products in table 1 has been made according to the knowledge at the time of the interlaboratory trial (1992). Data for some other substances are given in annex A.
