10. 10 Proposed projects for the mandate 5 chemical parameters/groups  4) Chloroalkanes  The various options for the analysis of SCCPs including  several clean-up and  detection techniques as well as  calibration protocols should be thoroughly compared and evaluated.  A proposal should be made on how to proceed to come to a standardised method for the analysis of SCCPs in whole water samples  The option to develop an operationally defined parameter as a surrogate for SCCP should be considered.  Matrix: whole water samples  Samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended solids.  Technique: to be defined  Type of work: Co-normative research

11. 11 Proposed projects for the mandate 5 chemical parameters/groups  5) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons:  analysis of PAHs (incl. anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoran-thene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(ghi)perylene  The ISO/CD 28540 might be an advantage point for further method development  Matrix: whole water samples  samples containing up to 0.5 g/L of suspended solids.  Technique: GC-MS  Type of work: Pre-normative research

12. 12 Proposed projects for the mandate 3 biological methods  1) Phytoplankton sampling (lake and marine)  2) Guidance on the estimation of algal biovolume (lake)  3) Fish sampling

13. 13 Adoption of the Mandate at CEN level After reception of the official letter from DG ENTR CEN CS has prepared the necessary enquiry on the adoption of the mandate to all CEN members  In the respective questionnaire it was proposed to adopt the mandate as set out in the M424 document  In addition it is proposed that the work should start when the financial requirements are settled  For meeting the time schedule and for ensuring the necessary resources The deadline for this enquiry is 2008-06-06 In addition a formal resolution will be taken at the next CEN TC 230 meeting in Hof (Bavaria) at 2008-05-29  this will underline that the mandate is highly welcomed and it will endorse the formal adoption by CEN members
