# Commission Directive 2004/73/EC of 29 April 2004 adapting to technical progress for the twenty-ninth time Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (Text with EEA relevance), Division: TEST REPORT

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The test report must include:
Test substance:
common name, chemical name, CAS number, structural formula (indicating position of label(s) when radiolabelled material is used) and relevant physical-chemical properties (see section 1.5);
purity (impurities) of test substance;
radiochemical purity of labelled chemical and specific activity (where appropriate);
Reference substances:
chemical name and structure of reference substances used for the characterisation and/or identification of transformation product;
Test soils:
details of collection site;
date and procedure of soil sampling;
properties of soils, such as pH, organic carbon content, texture (% sand, % silt, % clay), cation exchange capacity, bulk density, water retention characteristic, and microbial biomass;
length of soil storage and storage conditions (if stored);
Test conditions:
dates of the performance of the studies;
amount of test substance applied;
solvents used and method of application for the test substance;
weight of soil treated initially and sampled at each interval for analysis;
description of the incubation system used;
air flow rates (for flow-through systems only);
temperature of experimental set-up;
soil moisture content during incubation;
microbial biomass initially, during and at the end of the aerobic studies;
pH, oxygen concentration and redox potential initially, during and at the end of the anaerobic and paddy studies;
method(s) of extraction;
methods for quantification and identification of the test substance and major transformation products in soil and absorption materials;
number of replicates and number of controls.
Results:
result of microbial activity determination;
repeatability and sensitivity of the analytical methods used;
rates of recovery (% values for a valid study are given in section 1.7.1);
tables of results expressed as % of applied initial dose and, where appropriate, as mgkg-1 soil (on a dry weight basis);
mass balance during and at the end of the studies;
characterisation of non-extractable (bound) radioactivity or residues in soil;
quantification of released CO2 and other volatile compounds;
plots of soil concentrations versus time for the test substance and, where appropriate, for major transformation products;
half-life or DT50, DT75 and DT90 for the test substance and, where appropriate, for major transformation products including confidence limits;
estimation of abiotic degradation rate under sterile conditions;
an assessment of transformation kinetics for the test substance and, where appropriate, for major transformation products;
proposed pathways of transformation, where appropriate;
discussion and interpretation of results;
raw data (i.e. sample chromatograms, sample calculations of transformation rates and means used to identify transformation products).
