- Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number - a unique identifier that tells you, for example, that acetone and dimethyl ketone are the same substance.
- Screening criterion = 20 x TCLP criteria; where contaminant concentration is below the screening criteria, no TCLP test is necessary.
- Adopted from the US EPA TCLP numbers.
- Derived using a constituent specific dilution attenuation factor and the Drinking-water Standards for New Zealand (Ministry of Health, 1995).
- Derived using a constituent specific dilution attenuation factor and the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality (ANZECC and ARMCANZ, 2000).
- Concentration exceeds the limit in the New Zealand Standard Trade Waste By-law (NZS 9201).
