Timeline of Changes
This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. For further information see our guide to revised legislation on Understanding Legislation.
Status:
EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
[2. Notes to Tables 1 and 2 U.K.
Note 1 | Uncertainty of measurement is a non-negative parameter characterising the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a measurand, based on the information used. The performance criterion for measurement uncertainty (k = 2) is the percentage of the parametric value stated in the table or better. Measurement uncertainty shall be estimated at the level of the parametric value, unless otherwise specified. |
Note 2 | Trueness is a measure of systematic error, i.e. the difference between the mean value of the large number of repeated measurements and the true value. Further specifications are those set out in ISO 5725. |
Note 3 | Precision is a measure of random error and is usually expressed as the standard deviation (within and between batches) of the spread of results from the mean. Acceptable precision is twice the relative standard deviation. This term is further specified in ISO 5725. |
Note 4 | Limit of detection is either:
three times the standard deviation within a batch of a natural sample containing a low concentration of the parameter, or
five times the standard deviation of a blank sample (within a batch).
|
Note 5 | If the value of uncertainty of measurement cannot be met, the best available technique should be selected (up to 60 %). |
Note 6 | The method determines total cyanide in all forms. |
Note 7 | Values for trueness, precision and uncertainty of measurement are expressed in pH units. |
Note 8 | Reference method: EN ISO 8467 |
Note 9 | The performance characteristics for individual pesticides are given as an indication. Values for the uncertainty of measurement as low as 30 % can be achieved for several pesticides, higher values up to 80 % may be allowed for a number of pesticides. |
Note 10 | The performance characteristics apply to individual substances, specified at 25 % of the parametric value in Part B of Annex I. |
Note 11 | The performance characteristics apply to individual substances, specified at 50 % of the parametric value in Part B of Annex I. |
Note 12 | The uncertainty of measurement should be estimated at the level of 3 mg/l of the total organic carbon (TOC). CEN 1484 Guidelines for the determination of TOC and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) shall be used. |
Note 13 | The uncertainty of measurement should be estimated at the level of 1,0 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units) in accordance with EN ISO 7027.] |
