The material is certified for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Se. and will serve as a quality control tool for the laboratories involved in the mandatory monitoring of the Priority Substances prescribed under the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC).JRC.D.2-Standards for Innovation and sustainable Developmen
