(a) The parametric values in Part 2 are not required to protect human health (since the parametric values in Part 1 are sufficient for that purpose). The values in Part 2 are not therefore set for the purposes of Article 5(3) of the Directive. | ||||
(b) Compliance required as to 95% of samples from each service reservoir (regulation 4(4)). | ||||

Notes— | ||||
(a) The parametric value refers to the residual monomer concentration in the water as calculated according to specifications of the maximum release from the corresponding polymer in contact with the water. This is controlled by product specification. | ||||
(b) See also regulation 6(6). | ||||
(c) See also regulation 4(2)(c). | ||||
(d) The corresponding parametric value applies to each ‘other pesticide’ individually. | ||||
(e) The parametric values in this Part are not required to protect human health (since the parametric values in Part 1 are sufficient for that purpose). The values in Part 2 are not therefore set for the purposes of Article 5(3) of the Directive. | ||||

Notes— | ||||
(a) The water should not be aggressive. | ||||
(b) In the event that the use of samples from a point within a water supply zone has not been authorised for this parameter under regulation 8, the point of monitoring is instead the consumer’s tap. | ||||
