Overview
This standard specifies a method for the determination of selected active substances of plant protection products and other organic substances (alachlor, atrazine, boscalid, bromacil, carbamazepine, chlorfenvinphos, chloridazon, chlorpyrifos, chlorotoluron, desethylatrazine, desethylterbuthylazine, desisopropylatrazine, desphenyl-chloridazon, desmetryn, 2,6-dichlorbenzamide, diuron, ethofumesate, isoproturon, lenacil, metalaxyl, metalaxyl-M, metamitron, metazachlor, methyldesphenylchloridazon, metolachlor, s-metolachlor, metribuzin, pendimethalin, quinoxyfen, simazine, terbuthylazine) in drinking, ground and surface water with mass concentrations higher than 0,025 µg/l and has been validated. The method can be applied for determination of other organic substances or in other types of water, if accuracy has been verified in individual cases. Examples for the determination of other organic substances are: acetamipride, aldicarb, ametryn, amidosulfurone, anthranilic acid isopropylamide, azoxystrobin, bupirimat, butralin, buturon, carbaryl, carbendazim, carbetamid, carbofuran, dimethachlorsulfone acid (CGA 354742), metolachlor oxanilic acid (CGA 51202), chlorobromuron, chloroxuron, chlorthiamide, climbazole, clomazone, clothianidine, cyanazine, cyproconazole, DEET, desethylsebuthylazine, diazinon, diflubenzuron, diflufenican, dimefuron, dimethachlor, dimethenamid, dimethoat, dimoxystrobin, dodemorph, epoxiconazol, EPTC, ethidimuron, fenamidon, fenarimol, fenpropimorph, fenuron, flazasulfuron, fluazifop-buthyl, flufenacet, flumeturon, fluorchloridon, flusilazol, flutolanil, flurtamon, haloxyfop-R-methyl, hexazinon, hexythiazox, imazamethabenz-methyl, imidachloprid, irgarol, iodsulfuron-methyl, isazofos, isoxaben, kresoxim methyl, linuron, metconazol, methabenzthiazuron, methoprotryn, metobromuron, metosulam, metoxuron, metsulfuron-methyl, molinat, monolinuron, monuron, napropamid, naptalam, neburon, nitenpyram, norflurazon, ofurace, orbencarb, oxadixyl, oxamyl, penconazol, pencycuron, pethoxamid, phoxim, picoxystrobin, picolinafen, pirimicarb, prochloraz, prometryn, propanil, propazin, propiconazol, propoxur, propyzamid, proquinazid, prosulfocarb, pyraclostrobin, pyrimethanil, chlorthalonilsulfon acid, tebufenpyrad, sebuthylazin, tebuconazol, tebutam, terbufos, terbumeton, terbutryn, thiachloprid, thiabendazol, thiazafluron, triadimefon, thiamethoxam, triadimenol, triallat, triamifos, triasulfuron, trietazin, trifloxystrobin, trinexapac-ethyl.
