Standards Development
This technical guidance aims to answ er the need to improve and harmonize:
- the scopes of CEN/TC 230 standards to clarify their applicability, notew orthy to deliver reliablewhole water measurement for end-users readers, analysts and stakeholders needs
- the requirements for the development and validation of future or under development standards with respect to their claimed scope
- The intralaboratory validation of methods versus surface water matrix and acknowledgment of fitness for purpose to deliver reliable whole w ater measurement.
The technical guidance is mostly driven by the issue of surface waters monitoring under WFD but shall not only be restricted to this context.
In 2018, at EU level (JRC meetings, working group chemicals), whole water measurem ents have been raised as a possible issue for quality, comparability and compliance of measurem ents in the context of monitoring results collected under the Water Framework Directive. During the 23rd MEETING CEN/TC 230/WG 1 "Physical and biochemical methods" on 2018-04-27 in Edinburgh, experts agreed on the need to discuss the topic of analysis of organic parameters in whole water considering technologic al progresses in analytical instrumentation (e.g., the prominent use of direct injection LCMS or on-line SPE).
The need to build consensual position of CEN/TC 230/ WG1 on how to address the requirem ent to report whole water concentrations properly by standardized analytical methods used by member states for monitoring organic compounds in the aquatic environment merged as necessary.
