If a turbidity measurement is made for regulatory purposes, the reading should be reasonably close to that obtained if the sample had been tested at any other location where turbidity measurements are made for this purpose. To achieve this industry‐wide agreement, three factors must be considered: the design of the instruments, the material used to calibrate the instruments, and the technique used to make the measurement.
