Edition of the Mandate to CEN

The mandate was edited on 7th April 2008 under the number M/424 Development or improvement of standards in

support of the WFD

7

Proposed projects for the mandate

5 chemical parameters/groups 1) Organochlorine pesticides:

(incl. alachlor, endosulfan, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorocyclohexane isomers, pentachlorobenzene, DDT and metabolites, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, and isodrin)

Matrix: whole water samples

Samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended solids.

Technique: GC-MS

Type of work: Co-normative research

8

Proposed projects for the mandate

5 chemical parameters/groups 2) Pentabromodiphenylethers: procedure for the analysis of congeners

representative for the technical pentabromodiphenylether formulation (incl. BDE28, BDE47, BDE99, BDE100, BDE153, and BDE154)

Matrix: whole water samples

Samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended solids.

Technique: GC-MS or GC-ECNI-MS

Type of work: Pre-normative research

9

Proposed projects for the mandate

5 chemical parameters/groups 3) Tributyltin compounds

Matrix: whole water samples Samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended

solids. Technique: GC-MS or GC-AED Type of work: Pre-normative research

10

Proposed projects for the mandate

5 chemical parameters/groups 4) Chloroalkanes The various options for the analysis of SCCPs including

several clean-up and detection techniques as well as calibration protocols

should be thoroughly compared and evaluated. A proposal should be made on how to proceed to come to a

standardised method for the analysis of SCCPs in whole water samples

The option to develop an operationally defined parameteras a surrogate for SCCP should be considered.

Matrix: whole water samples Samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended solids.

Technique: to be defined Type of work: Co-normative research

11

Proposed projects for the mandate

5 chemical parameters/groups 5) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: analysis of PAHs (incl. anthracene, fluoranthene,

benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoran-thene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(ghi)perylene

The ISO/CD 28540 might be an advantage point for further method development

Matrix: whole water samples samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended

solids. Technique: GC-MS Type of work: Pre-normative research

12

Proposed projects for the mandate

3 biological methods 1) Phytoplankton sampling (lake and marine) 2) Guidance on the estimation of

algal biovolume (lake) 3) Fish sampling

13

Adoption of the Mandate at CEN level

After reception of the official letter from DG ENTR CEN CS has prepared the necessary enquiry on the adoption of the mandate to all CEN members In the respective questionnaire it was proposed to adopt the

mandate as set out in the M424 document In addition it is proposed that the work should start when the

financial requirements are settled For meeting the time schedule and for ensuring the

necessary resources

The deadline for this enquiry is 2008-06-06 In addition a formal resolution will be taken at the next

CEN TC 230 meeting in Hof (Bavaria) at 2008-05-29 this will underline that the mandate is highly welcomed and it

will endorse the formal adoption by CEN members

Further steps (1)

Meeting of CEN TC 230 / WG 1 in Hof (Bavaria) on 2008-05-28: Resolution on the formal and complete re-

installation of the working group Election of a new Chairman for the WG 1 Technical discussion on the 5 chemical

methods/projects (approaches, problems, main tasks ….

Technical discussion on the possible structure of the work and on contributors

Advice will be sought from DIN (secretariat of CEN TC 230) on the management of the projects

16

Agenda of the meeting of CEN TC 230 / WG 1

5) The Chemical Monitoring Activity under the CIS of the WFD (Mandate 2007 – 2009)

5.1) Report on the CMA-3 “Standardisation Needs” activity plan and on the outcome of recent meetings

6) The new EU QA/QC Directive on technical specifications for chemical analysis and monitoring of water status - What are the consequences for the application of CEN standards?

7) Mandate M424 addressed to CEN for the development or improvement of standards in support of the WFD (edited on 2008-04-07)

7.1) State of the play of the mandate – General discussion 7.2) The five chemical projects of the mandate – Technical discussion considering

the COM requirements on the methods Organochlorine pesticides ISO TC 147 SC2/ WG 53) Pentabromodiphenylethers Tributyltin compounds Chloroalkanes ISO TC 147 SC2/ AHG chloroalkanes) PAH ISO TC 147 SC2/ WG 19 PAH
