I have been looking for this ISO standard. If anyone have the electronic copy of this standard (ISO 7887:2011) then It will be a great help if you share it with me.
I found sufficient detail of this standard on line to reveal the test methods used simply by inputting its full title on Google but the site makes it clear that you must pay for a full electronic or pdf print out. It would be fraudulent to pass on an un-authorized copy.
So far I know, examination and determination of colour of the water in water quality assessment can be done with the help of procedure explained in American Public Health Association (APHA).
