  2.1 Types of soil and other soil materials
  2.2 Terms relating to soil characteristics
  2.3 Land and sites
3 Field of application
  3.1 Soils and areas of soil use where ecotoxicological tests
      should be considered
  3.2 Soils and areas of soil use where ecotoxicological tests
      are not necessary (provided groundwater contamination can
      be excluded)
4 Selection of tests according to use/re-use of soils and soils
  materials and soil functions
  4.1 Usefulness of ecotoxicity tests
  4.2 General criteria for selection of tests
  4.3 Consideration for the examination of soil functions
5 Sampling, transport, storage and sample preparation
6 Limitations of proposed biotests for soils/soil materials
Annex A (informative) Standardized forms of recommended test systems
Bibliography

Gives 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, and habitat maintenance and the retention function of the soil.
