<xs:documentation>Required. Select a Priority Substance from the enumeration list. If there is more than one standard per substance (e.g. because there are different standards for different categories or matrices), the same substance can be reported more than once. Each Priority Substance should be reported at least once. Please note, however, that you should report here 'Total Aldrin + dieldrin + endrin + isodrin' and not the individual substances separately, as this is the way in which the EQSs are defined in Directive 2013/39/EU. For the same reason, for PAHs, you should report the individual substances and not 'Total PAHs...'.
Quality checks: Within-schema check: There has to be at least 1 entry per substance in PS_Enum, except for aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, isodrin and Total PAHs, which should not be reported here, since the reporting should be done for Total aldrin+dieldrin+endrin+isodrin and for individual PAHs.</xs:documentation>
