Water quality — Enumeration of Clostridium perfringens — Method using membrane filtration

Qualité de l'eau — Dénombrement de Clostridium perfringens — Méthode par filtration sur membrane

Abstract / scope

ISO 14189:2013 specifies a method for the enumeration of vegetative cells and spores of Clostridium perfringens by the membrane filtration method in samples of water intended for human consumption. However, the method can be applied to all types of water samples provided they do not contain particulate or colloidal matter that interferes with filtration.
