QA/QC implementation Is the report the final issue of this task ? Task 3.1 C QA/QC implementation Is the report the final issue of this task ? Après une présentation du contexte national qui pose clairement le sujet des enjeux de la qualité des données et le rôle d’AQUAREF au sein du dispostif de surveillance des milieux aquatique. Je vais tenter en 15 minutes d’introduire aquaref et la journée. Tout d’abord, en vous remerciant d’être venus aussi nombreux , En souhaitant que cette journée permette un dialogue entre ceux qui réalisent et ceux qui demandent . Ce n’est pas si fréquent de pouvoir réunir les prestataies en dehors des réunions de travail qu’ils peuvent avoir avec lesprescripteurs qui passent les marchés . Je via s bien sur introduire aquaref en tentant de faire au plus court car l’objectif de cette rencontre est d’aborder la technique et ensuite je dresserai en quelques slides comment on a imaginé le déroulement de cette journée.

Draft report V1 Introduction Background Methodology Analysis of the answers Conclusion Annexes Original questionnaire Compilation of answers Un petit retour en arrière pour expliquer la naissance d’AQUAREF . Une première réflexion inititiée en 2001 November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

Background Need to achieve comparability through a regulatory text Discussion within EAQC-Wise project and CMA expert group QA/QC directive in 2009 Transposition in August 2011 November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

Methodology A questionnaire availaible on CIRCA from January to May 2011, then end of september) 16 MS ‘s answers – summarizezd in a file (CIRCA) with additional question on transposition ( 5 answers) 5 parts General aspects ( scope) Sampling aspects Field measurements LQ PT schemes Additional following Pragues Meeting : transposition November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

Major requirements General scope : Chemical monitoring in water, biote and sediment Method analysis : validated accoding to ISO 17025 or equivalent Minimum performance criteria : uncertainty of 50% at EQS values and LQ not above 30% of EQS ( when existing) Calculation of Mean values : rules of LQ/2 except for sums of parameters QA/QC : ISO 17025 or equivalent, PT scheme and use of Reference material at appropriate level November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

16 answers, 11 « comprehensive » 80 % : substances and PC parameters Scope Sampling 16 answers, 11 « comprehensive » 80 % : substances and PC parameters Chemical status Ecological status Surface water Underground water Priority Substances Specific substances, Physico-chemical parameters, On site parameters November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

Sampling aspects Do you in your country consider sampling to be covered by this directive? 10 Yes- 6 No  In case you have a quality management system for sampling, describe it briefly. Is it organised through ISO 17025?  ISO 17025 or SOP based on ISO 5667 series . 16 answers even if sampling is not considered to be in the scope of the directive for 6 of the MS.   The sampling part has to be discussed ? November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

LQ aspects How do you define the concept of “best available techniques not entailing excessive costs” in view of the required minimum limit of quantification? What consequence in term of water status at the end of the process when LQ/2 is used for mean calculation? Different LQ definition Different BAT concept Need to be discussed November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

How to go further within CMEP current activities ? Points to be discussed Is there an agreement on the scope ? How the specific rules will be checked (LQ, uncertainties) Is there a need for harmonization for LQ’s BAT and excessive costs Sampling How to go further within CMEP current activities ? November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN

Questions on the report Deadline for a final report ? Need for additional contribution in order to finalize the report Annex with answers : anonymous or not ? November, 17 CMEP-Geel-Anne MORIN
