Regulation 36
The amendments to the 1990 Regulations referred to in regulation 36 are–
(a)after regulation 13, the insertion of the following regulation:–
13A.—(1) In each of the years 2001, 2002 and 2003 a water authority shall take, or cause to be taken, from its sampling points or, as the case may be, its supply points, for analysis for testing against the concentrations and values specified in column (2) of Table 4A for the organisms and substances listed in column (1) of that Table, not less than the number of samples specified in paragraphs (2) and (3).
(2) In respect of supply points and the supply of a volume of water within a range shown in column (3) of that Table, the number is that shown in column (4) of that Table as applicable to a volume within that range.
(3) In respect of sampling points and the supply of water to an estimated population within a range shown in column (5) of that Table, the number is that shown in column (6) of that Table as applicable to a population within that range.
(4) In each of those years samples shall be taken at regular intervals throughout the year.”;
(b)after regulation 20, the insertion of the following regulation:
20A. The samples taken in accordance with regulation 13 shall additionally be tested against the concentrations specified in column (2) of Table 4B.”;
(c)in regulation 21 (collection and analysis of samples)–
(i)in paragraph (2), the insertion, after “means", of “ subject to paragraph (3) ”; and
(ii)the addition, at the end, of the following:–
“(3) In relation to each of the parameters and other substances listed in column (1) of Table 4B, paragraph (2)(d) shall have effect as if for sub-paragraph (iii) there were substituted the requirements of regulation 21A.”
(d)after regulation 21, the insertion of the following regulation:–
21A.—(1) The method of analysis used for testing for a parameter or other substance listed in column (1) of Table 4B against the concentrations in column (2) of that Table must be capable, at the time of use–
(a)of measuring concentrations with the trueness and precision specified in relation to that parameter or substance in columns (3) and (4) of Table 4B; and
(b)of detecting the parameter or substance at the limit of detection specified in relation to it in column (5) of that Table.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)–
“limit of detection" is to be calculated as–
three times the relative within batch standard deviation of a natural sample containing a low concentration of the parameter or substance; or
five times the relative within batch standard deviation of a blank sample;
“precision" (the random error); is to be calculated as twice the standard deviation (within a batch and between batches) of the spread of result about the mean; and
“trueness" (the systematic error) is to be calculated as the difference between the mean value of a large number of repeated measurements and the true value.”;
and
(e)the insertion, after Table 4 in Schedule 2, of the following Tables:

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
