Type of scope:  flexible (possibility of implementing minor modifications of the method)*
Site:  in the  laboratory
Testing fields with reference to the type of test: radiochemistry, radiation (alfa, beta, gamma spectrometry, radiation protection measurements)
Testing fields with reference to the type of test item: environment and samples from the environment (waters); foodstuffs (water); biological samples (clinical and pathological samples)

* Laboratory can implement minor modifications of the method as necessary (e.g. adaptation to the new version). Detailes on the actual state of the scope is maintained by the laboratory.

** Range of testing and detection limits depend on method, initial sample quantity and type of material (sample matrix). These data are available upon request in the laboratory and available on web page of the laboratory https://f2.ijs.si/mma/lsc_MDA.pdf.

*** In year 2023 complete reevaluation of the tritium activity calculation was performed, including determination of characteristic limits and other parameters based on the standard ISO 11929 and updates of the programmes for data evaluation.

**** In the year 2021 the regular revision of the procedure was performed, minor changes were implemented.
