Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 16133:2004), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Clause 2 has been updated;
— Clause 3 has been updated, definitions that were not used in the document have been deleted;
— new subclauses have been introduced regarding sampling designs (5.2.4), sampling in space (5.2.5)
and in time (5.2.6);
— all examples of monitoring programmes described in Annex A have been deleted as part were

Introduction
Monitoring is the process of repetitive observation, for defined purposes, of one or more components
of the environment according to pre-arranged schedules in space and time using comparable methods
[14][15]
for environmental sensing and data collection . Monitoring schemes are used all over the world
for a large number of purposes. Soil monitoring, particularly, is a long-term undertaking. The quality
and the utility of the information from the monitoring is to a large degree determined by the choice
of monitoring sites and by their maintenance over the years, and by appropriate quality control at all
stages of the process.
Monitoring associated with industrial (contaminated) sites can involve many specific considerations,
including legal requirements. The guidance in this document is not designed or intended to cover such
situations.

Soil quality — Guidance on the establishment and
maintenance of monitoring programmes
1 Scope
This document gives general guidance on the selection of procedures for the establishment and
maintenance of programmes for long-term monitoring of soil quality. It takes into account the large
number of objectives for soil-monitoring programmes.
This document is intended to help provide a basis for dialogue between parties which might be involved
in a monitoring scheme.

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Monitoring objectives
4.1 General
Monitoring programmes provide baseline soil information and help in deriving soil quality values
for managing soils (e.g. to verify soil quality after the implementation of remediation actions in
contaminated sites).
Monitoring is also an important tool for the early detection of changes in soil properties and soil
[16]
processes . It, thus, has a major role in the prevention or minimization of environmental damage
or the detection of environmental improvement. By the early detection of environmental impact, or
the potential for such impact, a monitoring programme could help to reduce or remove the costs of
reaching or maintaining a given level of environmental management, protection or quality.
Monitoring programmes can also be used to evaluate the outcome of environmental policies, to assist in
the development of strategies for soil protection and environmental management. They can also serve
as research platforms for the development and validation of field and analytical methods and of models
of soil and related environmental processes.
The range of purposes for which soil-monitoring programmes can be designed encompasses such a vast
range of time scales, variables and processes that it is not possible to give specific guidance on the
design of a monitoring programme to meet all the objectives which might be covered by this diversity.
The selection of sites, sampling schemes, etc. should be made following consideration of the specific
objectives of the particular monitoring programme. This document identifies the principles underlying
such programmes.
4.2 Examples of monitoring purposes
Some examples of monitoring purposes might include the need to establish one or more of the following:
— short-, intermediate- and long-term environmental impacts varying in magnitude, importance,
duration and probability;
— changes in chemical, biological and physical soil properties (e.g. pH, adsorption processes, toxic
element accumulation, radiation, compaction, erosion) and the dynamics of changes in such
properties;
— effects of human impacts;
— differentiation of human impacts from inter-annual variability and longer-term climate change;
— differentiation of local contamination from long-range transport;
— evaluation of productivity;
— assessment of biological diversity;
— input of elements into the soil environment and output of elements from the soil environment;
— transport processes in the soil profile (gases; particles; elements or compounds in solution);
