WFD requires that standard methods are used for the monitoring of quality elements, and that the good status class boundaries for each biological quality element are intercalibrated across member states sharing similar types of water bodies. The aim of the intercalibration has been to ensure that the good status class boundaries given by each country’s biological methods are consistent. Further information on the intercalibration process and results are given in the text box below.

The wording "standard methods" can be misleading, I suggest to use other formulation.
