What is ISO 20998?
ISO 20998-1:2018 – Measurement and Characterization of Particles in Liquids using Acoustic Methods – Part 1: Concepts and Procedures – provides the fundamental framework for using ultrasound-based techniques to analyze particle size, distribution, and concentration in a liquid medium. It helps maintain consistency, quality, and safety in fluid-based systems.
This standard is applicable to industries involving emulsions, colloids, suspensions, and nano-particle dispersions.
Why is ISO 20998 important?
ISO 20998-1:2018 plays a crucial role in achieving precision in liquid particle analysis. In fields where fluid dynamics and material consistency are vital, this certification enables organizations to demonstrate scientific reliability and conformity to global testing protocols. It also aids in compliance with regulatory frameworks and technical specifications required by global buyers and regulatory agencies.
What are the benefits of ISO 20998?
- Provides standardized procedures for particle size analysis using ultrasound
- Enables better product development and quality control in fluid-based systems
- Enhances reliability of measurements in laboratory and industrial environments
- Reduces variability and uncertainty in particle characterization
- Supports innovations in nanotechnology, biotech, and advanced materials
What kind of businesses can benefit from ISO 20998?
✅ Strengthens credibility and quality assurance in product manufacturing
✅ Enables entry into international markets through standardized testing credentials
✅ Reduces product defects linked to undetected particle inconsistencies
✅ Boosts client confidence in technical process reliability
✅ Ensures compliance with global lab testing and quality assurance norms
