Water quality - Guidance for the routine sampling and preparation of benthic diatoms from rivers and lakes

This European Standard specifies a method for the sampling and laboratory preparation of benthic diatoms for ecological status and water quality assessments. Data produced by this method are suitable for production of water quality indices based on the relative abundance of taxa.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Anleitung zur Probenahme und Probenaufbereitung von benthischen Kieselalgen aus Fließgewässern und Seen

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Probenahme und Laborpräparation benthischer Diatomeen zur Überwachung des ökologischen Zustands und der Wasserbeschaffenheit fest. Daten, die nach dieser Methode erhoben werden, sind zur Erzeugung von Wasserbeschaffenheitsindizes, die auf der relativen Häufigkeit der Taxa basieren, geeignet.

Qualité de l'eau - Guide pour l'échantillonnage en routine et le prétraitement des diatomées benthiques de rivières et de plans d'eau

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d’échantillonnage et de préparation en laboratoire de diatomées benthiques en vue d’évaluer l’état écologique et la qualité de l’eau. Les données obtenues par cette méthode conviennent pour la production d'indices de qualité de l'eau basés sur l’abondance relative des taxons.

Kakovost vode - Navodilo za rutinsko vzorčenje in pripravo vzorcev bentoških kremenastih alg rek in jezer

Standard EN 13946 določa metodo za vzorčenje in laboratorijsko pripravo bentoških kremenastih alg za ocene ekološkega stanja in kakovosti vode. Podatki, pridobljeni s to metodo, so primerni za pripravo indeksov kakovosti vode, ki temeljijo na relativni številčnosti tega reda.
