These methods for keeping test organisms can only be carried out in connection with at least one of those standards where a reference to this standard is established. NOTE 1 Annex A (informative) contains a non-exhaustive list of test organisms for which this standard can be applied. NOTE 2 European Standards (EN and prEN) where this European Standard is referenced are listed in the Bibliography.
