scope:
This International Standard specifies a rapid screening method for evaluating the habitat function of soils and
the influence of contaminants and chemicals on earthworm behaviour.
The sublethal test is a rapid method that reflects the bioavailability of contaminant mixtures in natural soils and
substances spiked into soils to Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei. The avoidance behaviour of the worms is
the measurement endpoint of the test. It is not intended to use this test to replace the earthworm reproduction
test.
