Today simple, common diagnostic systems are available that can be used by testing organisations to test the vast majority of the speed limiters equipped.

When calculating toxicity/exposure ratios Member States shall take into consideration toxicity to the most sensitive relevant organism used in the tests.

If modified or different tests are applied, their sensitivity and specificity must be evaluated in the framework of the periodic comparative tests organised by the Community Reference Laboratory for African swine fever.

coordinating the application by the national reference laboratories of the methods referred to in point (a), by organising comparative testing in particular;

The test facility should have a sufficient number of rooms or areas to assure the isolation of test systems and the isolation of individual projects, involving substances or organisms known to be or suspected of being biohazardous.

(b) except for grades A1 and A2, following competitions on the basis of both qualifications and tests organised as specified in Annex III to the Staff Regulations.

The test referred to in paragraph 1 (d) shall be organised by the competent central authority of the Member State or by the authority appointed by that Member State.

It is common experience that the larger the concentration of micro-organisms initially added to the test medium, the smaller will be the variation between replicates.

inspections or testing carried out officially or upon official request to monitor the presence or extent of contamination by the harmful organism which has been introduced;

Since December 1994, international proficiency tests for the determination of isotopic measurements for wine and alcohol (distillates of 96 % ASV) have been regularly organised.

The purpose of the bacteriological test is to identify all pathogenic micro-organisms and it must not be restricted to detecting specific pathogenic streptococci or staphylococci.

(d) promoting and encouraging bilateral cooperation between their respective organisation, public and/or private, responsible for metrology, standardisation, testing, certification and accreditation;

diagnostic symptoms of the disease caused by the organism have been seen and a positive result in the rapid screening test(s), as specified in Annex II section I, point 1 and section II has been obtained;

(7) For the standardisation of BHV1 tests in laboratories the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has adopted a strong positive, a weak positive and negative serum as OIE international standards for BHV1 tests which are available at the OIE Reference Laboratories for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis mentioned in the Manual of Standards for Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines fn.

(d) encouraging, promoting and otherwise facilitating cooperation between the Parties' organisations, public and/or private, for metrology, standardisation, testing, certification, inspection and accreditation; and

Interlaboratory study (comparison) means organisation, performance and evaluation of tests on the same sample by two or more laboratories in accordance with predetermined conditions to determine testing performance.

Moreover, approved laboratories must prove their competence by regular and successful participation in adequate proficiency testing schemes recognised or organised by the national or Community reference laboratories.

The institutions may organise internal competitions for each function group on the basis of qualifications and tests for the institution concerned which shall be at grade AST 6-level or higher and at grade AD 9-level or higher.

(13) Not only the competent authorities of the Member States but also any entity designated by them should be responsible for organising the tests provided for in connection with the initial qualification and the periodic training.

Designating authorities are those authorities and organisations responsible for designating and assuring the competence of conformity assessment bodies to test and certify equipment covered by this Annex to the requirements of the other Party.

The solution of the test chemical in mineral medium, usually at 2-5 mg/litre, is inoculated with a relatively small number of micro-organisms from a mixed population and kept in completely full, closed bottles in the dark at constant temperature.

If official or officially supervised laboratory testing, using, for the listed plant material, the relevant method set out in Annex II or, in all other cases, any other officially approved method, confirms the presence of the organism in a sample taken pursuant to this Directive, the responsible official bodies of a Member State, having regard to sound scientific principles, the biology of the organism and the particular production, marketing and processing systems of the host plants of the organism in that Member State, shall:

The oxygen uptake by a stirred solution, or suspension, of the test chemical in a mineral medium, inoculated with specially grown, unadapted micro-organisms, is measured automatically over a period of 28 days in a darkened, enclosed respirometer at 25 ± 1 °C.

The Community Reference Laboratories for classical swine fever and African swine fever shall organise their activities in such a way so as to ensure proper coordination of the comparative tests organised at Community level for the diagnosis of these two diseases.

Member States' competent authorities or the entity designated by them shall organise the aforementioned theoretical and practical tests to check whether the trainee driver has the level of knowledge required in section 1 for the subjects and objectives listed there.

The European Communities Personnel Selection Office shall, at their request, provide assistance to the different institutions with a view to the selection of contract staff, in particular by defining the contents of the tests and organising the selection procedures.

This training shall conclude with the test provided for in section 3 of Annex I. That test shall be organised by the Member States' competent authorities or an entity designated by them and shall serve to check whether, for the aforementioned subjects, the trainee driver has the level of knowledge required in section 1 of Annex I. The said authorities or entities shall supervise the test and, upon successful completion, issue the drivers with a CPC certifying an accelerated initial qualification.
