1. IC manual: what and why
Presented by Sandra Poikane Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability

3. Instruction manual Most of Intercalibration results - finalised
many MS have not intercalibrated the methods :
Not developed in time
other reasons: different pressure/ habitat/ concept

4. Instruction manual
a workflow to fit new or revised methods to the harmonised definition of good ecological status established in the finalised IC
IC results
Revised
method
New method

5. Key documents IC Guidance IC technical report IC manual
- intercalibration aims, methods and criteria.
- all necessary steps of the intercalibration process.
IC technical report
- approaches and outcomes of the respective intercalibration exercise
IC manual
- procedure to use for intercalibrating new /revised classification methods.

6. MS national dataset
the complete ecological quality gradient ranging from high to poor
contain non-biological (environmental) and biological data to conduct pressure-impact analyses
