Well it depends on which bioavailability you want to explore. if it's human bioaccessibility (like for health risk in the case of soil ingestion for children), you can try the unified BARGE method. It has been validated for different metals, but I actually don't know if it is the case for Cr. The problem remains to have a reference material which has been also validated with this procedure.
Mr.Muhammad ,good question. Bioavailabilty of heavy metals can be determined by soil test methods,sensitive plant test and soil enzyme assay.In the following reference 0.01M CaCl2 method was used for soil analysis,Spinach was used as test plant along with some enzyme assays.

DTPA methods can also be used as test to assess the content bio -available heavy metals in soils.The following reference can be consulted.
