The JRC has recently published a report on Existing International and European Standards related to the soil strategy.
The present technical report provides an inventory of 574 soil-related standards from international and European standard bodies including the International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) and the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), as well as standards from other well-recognised international institutions including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO-GLOSOLAN) and demonstrates the need for harmonisation of soil-related standards to ensure consistency and comparability of soil data and to support effective soil management and protection efforts.
