Depending on its composition, waste from mirror entries has to be categorized as hazardous or non-hazardous. The hazard property ‘ecotoxic’ (HP 14) can be evaluated based on the content of hazardous substances in the respective waste or using ecotoxicity tests with samples and eluates of this waste. At the EU level, specific requirements for the […]
ECT’s certificate of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) has been successfully renewed in April 2024, for the 9th time since 1994. The successful assessment of conformity with GLP included ECT’s recently established analytical department and electronic raw data archive.

Germany still lacks a nationwide and standardised survey of soil organisms, although a comprehensive infrastructure for such a survey is available with approx. 800 permanent soil monitoring sites (Bodendauerbeobachtungsflächen, BDF). At present, not all federal states perform biodiversity surveys on their permanent soil monitoring sites. This is most likely due to the fact that the […]

The environmental risk of pesticides for nontarget soil macroorganisms has mainly been assessed using the compost earthworm Eisenia fetida. However, E. fetida does not occur in agroecosystems and it is generally less sensitive than other earthworm species. Thus, the extrapolation of its response to pesticides to other earthworm species may lead to uncertainties in the […]
