Regulation 16(a)
(1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5) | (6) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Notes— | |||||
Note 1: The parametric value of 0.10 μg/l 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. | |||||
Note 2: A parametric value of 2.4 mgB/l must be applied when desalinated water is the predominant water source of the supply system concerned or in regions where geological conditions could lead to high levels of boron in groundwater. | |||||
Note 3: A parametric value of 0.70 mg/l must be applied where a disinfection method that generates this parameter, in particular chlorine dioxide, is used for disinfection of water intended for human consumption. This parametric value applies only if such disinfection methods are used. | |||||
Note 4: This parameter must be measured only when disinfection methods that can generate HAAs are used for the disinfection of water intended for human consumption. | |||||
Note 5: This parameter must be measured only in the event of potential blooms in source water (increasing cyanobacterial cell density or bloom forming potential). | |||||
Note 6: See also regulation 4(2)(c). | |||||
Note 7: The corresponding parametric value applies to each “other pesticide” individually. | |||||
Note 8: A parametric value of 30 μg/l must be applied for regions where geological conditions could lead to high levels of selenium in groundwater. | |||||
Note 9: The sum of concentrations of these two parameters. | |||||
Note 10: The parametric value of 0.50 μg/l 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.” | |||||

Policy Note sets out a brief statement of the purpose of a Scottish Statutory Instrument and provides information about its policy objective and policy implications. They aim to make the Scottish Statutory Instrument accessible to readers who are not legally qualified and accompany any Scottish Statutory Instrument or Draft Scottish Statutory Instrument laid before the Scottish Parliament from July 2012 onwards. Prior to this date these type of notes existed as ‘Executive Notes’ and accompanied Scottish Statutory Instruments from July 2005 until July 2012.
