    The terminology is wrong. They are not called 'type-specific reference conditions' for PhysChemBQE.

    Those are 'type-specific PhysChem conditions'.

    They are not "reference" values, as the boundaries for the classification of ecological status are not established as a deviation from those type-specific values. (They are thresholds and values).

    This is not a minor problem.

    Refer to the text of the WFD Annex II.1.3.i and Guidance document Nº10 on reference conditions or Nº 13 on the assesment of ecological status for further explanation.
