Biological intercalibration: Invertebrates 2023 : ICP Waters Report 155/2024 NIVA REPORT 7927-2024
The ICP Waters biological intercalibration of invertebrates was executed to harmonise taxonomic work across countries and is of high value in programmes where the focus is on community analyses, e.g., for the classification of ecological status according to the EU Water Framework Directive. The 27th biological intercalibration of invertebrates in ICP Waters included four participants. A total 99.9 % of the species and 99.9 % of the genera were correctly identified in 2023. The mean Quality assurance index (Qi) ranged from 98.1 to 100.0. The results show that the average Qi has remained above 80% since 1992, suggesting skilled taxonomists in the laboratories affiliated to ICP Waters.
