This document is Part 5 in a series of Standards on the sampling of waters, waste waters, sediments and sludges. This Part of the series provides detailed principles to be applied to the sampling of drinking water.

This document is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO 5667-5:2006, Water quality — Sampling, Part 5: Guidance on sampling of drinking water from treatment works and piped distribution systems. This document has been varied as indicated to take account of Australian conditions. As part of this revision, the title of this document was changed to remove reference to “water used for food and beverage processing”. The title of “Guidance on sampling of drinking water” better reflects the content of this document, including changes made as part of the revision.

The inclusion of national variations in boxed text above the relevant clauses in this modified adoption, was approved by the Standards Australia Production Management Group (PMG) on 19 October 2020, as a one-off exemption to the directives of Clause A.3 in Standardization Guide 007: Adoption of International Standards.
