The draft ISO/DIS 18400-204 Soil Quality Standard on Sampling and Guidance on sampling of soil gas is now open for consultation. This standard is similar in scope to BS 8576 and will not therefore be adopted as a British Standard.
However, it might be important for UK consultants working overseas because they might be required to follow it.
BS 8576 was drawn on during its preparation.
Comments should be sent to the Secretary of BSI committee EH4 – Jessy Mathew by 15 December 2015. If a copy of the draft standard is required, please contact Michael Smith
