This document provides guidance on the selection and application of screening methods for assessing soil quality and waste characterization, including distribution of target parameters in soil and soil?<\/i>like material. The aim of this document is to set up criteria as to when the different kind of screening methods can be applied for the analysis of a certain parameter in soil, including soil?<\/i>like material, and waste, and which steps are required to prove their suitability.<\/p>\n
This document does not recommend any particular screening method but confirms the principles of their selection and application.<\/p>\n
