| Re-Qualification Process after the last Needle and Leaf Interlaboratory Test | |||
| The qualification process starts with the ringtest participation. All participating ICP-Forests laboratories must analyze at least all the mandatory parameters. Finally, each laboratory can download the qualification report together with the ringtest report. The laboratory passed for parameters highlighted in green and failed for parameters highlighted in orange. For the orange highlighted parameters a re-qualification is needed. >>> |  |

| Classification Values for European Foliage Data | |||
 |
These classification values were fixed at the 3rd and 4th Forest Foliar Expert Panel Meeting, in the 13th Forest Foliar Expert Panel Meeting the names of these classes were also fixed. These classification values should be used for the harmonize classification of element concentrations in foliage samples from European surveys. >>> | ||

| Foliage and litterfall reference samples | |||
 |
BFW has prepared and offers reference samples (Spruce needles, Maple leaves, litterfall sample-beech leaves, Pine needles) with known element concentrations to support the QA/QC in Europaen laboratories which participate in forest environmental monitoring. These samples can be used for the validation of the analytical methods. >>> |
