Division 1.7.2 Repeatability and sensitivity of analytical method

Repeatability of the analytical method (excluding the initial extraction efficiency) to quantify test substance and transformation products can be checked by duplicate analysis of the same extract of the soil, incubated long enough for formation of transformation products.

The limit of detection (LOD) of the analytical method for the test substance and for the transformation products should be at least 0.01 mg-kg^-1 soil (as test substance) or 1% of applied dose whichever is lower. The limit of quantification (LOQ) should also be specified.
