Soil quality - Guidance on the ecotoxicological characterization of soils and soil materials (ISO 15799:2019)

This document is one of a family of International Standards providing guidance on soils and soil materials in relation to certain functions and uses including conservation of biodiversity. It applies in conjunction with these other standards. It provides guidance on the selection of experimental methods for the assessment of the ecotoxic potential of soils and soil materials (e.g. excavated and remediated soils, refills, embankments) with respect to their intended use and possible adverse effects on aquatic and soil dwelling organisms.
NOTE       This is a reflection of the maintenance of the habitat and retention function of the soil. In fact, the methods listed in this document are suitable for usage in a TRIAD approach, i.e. for an ecological assessment of potentially contaminated soils (see ISO 19204).
This document does not cover tests for bioaccumulation.
The ecological assessment of uncontaminated soils with a view to natural, agricultural or horticultural use is not within the scope of this document. Such soils can be of interest if they can serve as a reference for the assessment of soils from contaminated sites.
The interpretation of results gained by applying the proposed methods is not in the scope of this document.

Bodenbeschaffenheit - Anleitung zur ökotoxikologischen Charakterisierung von Böden und Bodenmaterialien (ISO 15799:2019)

Dieses Dokument gehört zu einer Familie von Internationalen Normen, die Anleitungen zur Charakterisierung von Böden und Bodenmaterial mit Bezug zu bestimmten Funktionen und Nutzungen enthalten, einschließlich Erhalt der Biodiversität. Es gilt in Verbindung mit diesen anderen Normen. Es enthält eine Anleitung für die Auswahl der Untersuchungsverfahren zur Bestimmung des ökotoxikologischen Potenzials von Böden und Bodenmaterial (z. B. Bodenaushub, saniertes Bodenmaterial, Verfüllmaterial, Aufschüttungen) mit Berücksichtigung ihrer vorgesehenen Nutzung sowie möglicher schädlicher Wirkungen auf aquatische Lebewesen und Bodenlebewesen.
ANMERKUNG   Dies ist ein Abbild der Wirksamkeit der Lebensraum- und Rückhaltefunktion. Tatsächlich sind die in diesem Dokument aufgeführten Verfahren für die Verwendung mit einem TRIAD-Ansatz geeignet, d. h. für eine ökologische Bewertung potentiell kontaminierter Böden (siehe ISO 19204).
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Bioakkumulation.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht für die ökologische Bewertung von nicht verunreinigten Böden mit naturnaher, landwirtschaftlicher oder forstwirtschaftlicher Nutzung anwendbar. Solche Böden können jedoch von Interesse als Referenzböden für die Bewertung von Böden aus verunreinigten Standorten sein.
Die Auswertung von Ergebnissen, die nach den vorgeschlagenen Verfahren erhalten werden, ist nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments.

Qualité du sol - Lignes directrices relatives à la caractérisation écotoxicologique des sols et des matériaux du sol (ISO 15799:2019)

Le présent document fait partie d'une famille de Normes internationales fournissant des lignes directrices sur les sols et les matériaux du sol en relation avec certaines fonctions et utilisations, y compris la préservation de la biodiversité. Il s'applique conjointement avec ces autres normes. Il fournit des lignes directrices relatives à la sélection des méthodes expérimentales permettant l'évaluation du potentiel écotoxique des sols et des matériaux du sol (par exemple terres excavées ayant fait l'objet d'une remédiation, remblais, talus) par rapport à leur utilisation prévue et aux effets éventuellement défavorables pour les organismes vivant dans l'eau et le sol.
NOTE       Il est le reflet du maintien des fonctions d'habitat et de rétention du sol. En fait, les méthodes énumérées dans le présent document sont adaptées à une utilisation dans l'approche TRIADE, c'est-à-dire pour une évaluation écologique des sols potentiellement contaminés (voir l'ISO 19204).
Le présent document ne traite pas des essais relatifs à la bioaccumulation.
L'évaluation écologique des sols non pollués en vue d'une utilisation naturelle, agricole ou horticole ne relève pas du domaine d'application du présent document. De tels sols peuvent être intéressants s'ils peuvent servir de référence pour l'évaluation de sols provenant de sites pollués.
L'interprétation des résultats obtenus selon les méthodes proposées ne relève pas du domaine d'application du présent document.

Kakovost tal - Navodilo za ekotoksikološko karakterizacijo tal in talnih materialov (ISO 15799:2019)

Ta dokument je iz družine mednarodnih standardov, ki zagotavljajo navodilo za karakterizacijo funkcionalnosti in uporabe tal in talnih materialov, vključno z ohranjanjem biotske raznovrstnosti. Standard je treba uporabljati v povezavi z ostalimi standardi iz družine. Zagotavlja navodilo za izbiro eksperimentalnih metod za oceno ekotoksikološkega potenciala tal in talnih materialov (npr. izkopanih in saniranih tal, zasipov, nasipov) glede na njihovo predvideno uporabo in možne škodljive učinke na organizme, ki živijo v vodi in tleh.
OPOMBA: To je odraz vzdrževanja habitata in zadrževalne funkcije tal. Pravzaprav so metode v tem dokumentu primerne za uporabo v pristopu TRIAD, tj. za ekološko oceno potencialno onesnaženih tal (glej ISO 19204).
Ta dokument ne zajema preskusov za bioakumulacijo.
Ekološka ocena neonesnaženih tal za naravno, kmetijsko ali vrtnarsko rabo ne sodi na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Ocena takšnih tal je lahko zanimiva, če jo je mogoče uporabiti kot referenco za oceno tal z onesnaženih območij.
Razlaga rezultatov, pridobljenih z uporabo predlaganih metod, ne spada na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 15799:2019(E)
Introduction
Most of the existing ecotoxicological test methods (biotests) that are being internationally harmonized
were developed to describe the ecotoxic potential of a test substance when added to a soil/soil material.
These methods can be used with some modifications for the ecotoxicological characterization of soils
and soil materials with respect to their function depending on the intended use. For substances with
properties resulting in toxic effects, biotests are a complement to conventional chemical analysis.
Results from chemical analysis can be used for ecotoxicological assessments based on information on
the substances identified, including properties of the chemicals, e.g. their bioaccumulation potential.
This information is often scarce (if it exists at all) and it does not include possible interactions (synergy/
antagonism) between chemicals and the complex soil matrix. Furthermore, an exhaustive identification
and quantification of substances is impractical. Therefore, ecotoxicological testing of soils can be used
for investigating the potential toxicity of complex chemical mixtures. The extrapolation from laboratory
tests to field conditions requires adequate consideration of important environmental factors within the
test conditions and the selection of suitable ecotoxicological end points.

materials in relation to certain functions and uses including conservation of biodiversity. It applies in
conjunction with these other standards. It provides guidance on the selection of experimental methods
for the assessment of the ecotoxic potential of soils and soil materials (e.g. excavated and remediated
