Abstract

Sets out guidance for validation of procedures to be used for the chemical analysis of soil. It specifically aims to cover the chemical analysis of undisturbed, urban agricultural and contaminated soils and describes the factors that need to be taken into account to establish routine applicability of a method for analysis of soils. It does not establish regulatory limits or provide information regarding the relationship of results to factors such as bioavailability.

Scope

This Standard provides guidance for validation of procedures to be used for the chemical analysis of soil. It specifically aims to cover the chemical analysis of undisturbed, urban, agricultural and contaminated soils. The Standard describes the factors that need to be taken into account to establish routine applicability of a method for analysis of soils. This Standard does not establish regulatory limits or provide information regarding the relationship of results to factors such as bioavailability. Demonstration of compliance with this Standard is, however, an essential part of determining fitness for the purpose of the chemical analytical procedures.
