Due to the inclusion of the determination of somatic coliphages in two European Union (EU) legislative documents, the competent authorities of the EU Member States will have to monitor their occurrence in the given types of waters. This paper describes the determination of somatic coliphages in real and model samples using standardized methods. At the same time, observations and pitfalls are described, which are connected with standardized determinations and with the introduction of these determinations into legislation. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the morphology and taxonomy of somatic coliphages and their approximate occurrence in different types of waters. The experimental part summarizes the results, obtained by using cultivation methods, which are tabulated.
