This document describes the principles to follow for the analysis of microplastics in various environmental matrices. This involves a unique classification of plastic particle sizes, the use of certain sampling apparatus, sample preparation, and the determination of representative sample quantities. The aim of this document is to specify minimum requirements until specific standards are available for different scenarios. This is important to ensure that the development of specific standards is carried out on a consistent basis which ensures that comparison or correlation of results is possible. This document does not include requirements for monitoring actions taken.
