| Short description: |
This document provides a summary of the biological tests currently recommended at
Tier 2 of the Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) Framework, when they are applicable
and how to apply them. It gives the risk assessor an overview of the strengths and
weaknesses of the various tests, provides guidance on their selection, sets out the
criteria for the adoption of new or additional tests and highlights factors that the risk
assessor should be aware of when commissioning laboratories to undertake tests.
