METHOD INDICATING CODE (MIC)
HOW TO USE THE MIC FORMS:
*
the MIC should be reported only once;
*
use the MIC registration form on page 4 for reporting you MIC;
*
always fill in your code name and code number;
*
always fill in the starting date of the MIC codes;
*
fill in the element and corresponding code number (see form for results);
*
fill in the code for the used digestion and extraction technique (table 1);
*
fill in the used method of detection (table 2);
*
sent this form always by surface mail even when you use fax or E-mail because
sometimes it is problematic to get clear readible documents.
Example
You indicate behind the element Cd under the digestion and extraction technique the code A,
and under the detection technique the code BAE. This example means that for the determination of Cd in manure and refuse material in your laboratory a dry ashing method and uptake
of the ash in HCl is used ; for the detection of Cd AAS-ETA with Zeeman background
correction is used.
