The analytical methods used for soils and water should be carried out to the same standards and methodology as conducted through the CSBP Laboratories (https://csbplab.com.au/tests/soil; https://csbplab.com.au/tests/water)
The methodologies used are described in their manual, which is available for download FAQ | Downloads | CSBP Lab
The current version, updated June 2022, is available here: CSBP-Lab-Methods-0722.pdf
This manual is maintained by CSBP Laboratories.
For consistency with the AM database, unit conversions for some CSBP water analysis parameters are conducted using the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) conventions (https://www.ices.dk/data/tools/Pages/Unit-conversions.aspx; detailed in Table 2.1_1.)
