BS EN ISO 17616:2022 Soil quality. Guidance on the choice and evaluation of bioassays for ecotoxicological characterization of soils and soil materials
1 Scope
This document is one of the family of standards (ISO 15799, ISO 19204) providing guidance on the characterization of soils and soil materials in relation to their retention and habitat functions and uses. It is appropriate to use it in conjunction with the two other standards
in this family. It provides guidance on the choice and evaluation of tests applied
for ecotoxicological characterization of soils and soil materials. Recommendations for test strategies with respect to the protection of
ground and surface waters and the maintenance of the habitat function of soil are included. The tests recommended represent a minimum test battery that can be
complemented by additional tests, or even be replaced by others, according to the
intended uses or protection goals envisaged. The effect values indicated in this document
do not refer to regulation but represent the lowest level at which an adverse effect
is considered likely to occur.
