  "text": "The test must be performed initially in the laboratory on an artificial substrate (i.e. glass plate or quartz sand, as appropriate) unless adverse effects can be clearly predicted from other studies. In these cases, more realistic substrates may be used.\nTwo sensitive standard species, a parasitoid and predatory mite (e.g. Aphidius rhopalosiphi and Typhlodromus pyri) shall be tested. In addition to these, two additional species must also be tested, which shall be relevant to the intended use of the substance. Where possible and if appropriate, they shall represent the other two major functional groups, ground dwelling predators and foliage dwelling predators. Where effects are observed with species relevant to the proposed use of the product, further testing may be carried out at the extended laboratory/semi-field level. Selection of the relevant test species shall follow the proposals outlined in SETAC — Guidance document on regulatory testing procedures for pesticides with non-target arthropods. Testing must be conducted at rates equivalent to the highest rate of field application to be recommended.",
