Scope

This guidance European Standard establishes a method for the sampling and laboratory preparation of benthic diatoms for water quality assessments. Data produced by this method are suitable for production of water quality indices based on the relative abundance of taxa. With appropriate modifications the method can be applied to the study of benthic diatoms in lakes.
