STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR SAMPLING AND TESTING OF WATER

 1.0           OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this SOP is to lay down the procedure to sample and analyze the samples of water as per chemical specifications


for monitoring of the water system.

2.0             SCOPE

This procedure shall be applicable to the sampling and analysis of samples from raw water, Purified water, pretreated water, RO water, Soft water, and ETP/STP water.

3.0             RESPONSIBILITY

3.1             Chemist QC shall be responsible for the preparation of this SOP.

3.2             QC officer shall be responsible for the execution and checking of this SOP.

3.3             Manager QA shall be responsible for the checking and approval of this SOP.

4.0            ACCOUNTABILITY

Head QC

5.0           PROCEDURE

5.1            SAMPLE QUANTITY:

5.1.2      1 x 1000ml for every point of sampling for every type of water.

5.1.3      FREQUENCY: For sampling and testing frequency, Refer Annexure I.

5.2           Sampling of water:

5.2.1    As per Annexure I, collect the required number of appropriate sampling bottles in a tray.

5.2.2      Take the adequate number of labels to be affixed on the sample bottles after collection of samples. Go to the sampling location for sample collection.   

5.2.3       Open the sampling valve and flush the water for 5 minutes.

5.2.4       Open the sampling bottle and collect the sample till it overflows in such a manner, so as not to

            contaminate the sample. Close the sampling valve and sampling bottle. Label the sample with

            the necessary relevant details.

5.2.5       Submit the water samples to Q.C. in charge of the allocation of the job.

5.3            Allocation of water samples

5.3.1    QC in charge shall allocate the sample for analysis to the analyst.

5.3.2      QC in charge shall physically hand over the sample, analytical protocol, and current specification and method of analysis to the concerned analyst.

5.4              Analysis of water sample:

5.4.1     After receiving the sample for analysis, the analyst should check for the details on the label to   

                 confirm the correctness of the sample.

5.4.2   Carry out the analysis as per the specification and while carrying out the analysis; record all the observations in the protocols as per annexures II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII.

5.4.3    Check the results and compare the results with the specification.

5.4.4  If the sample does not meet the chemical/physicochemical specification, then intimate the production department and maintenance department not to use the water and start the investigation.
