Added:Annex II – part B – point 1 – paragraph 1: Escherichia coli (E. coli) and enterococci are considered 'core parameters' and may not be subject to a supply risk assessment in accordance with part C of this Annex. They shall always be monitored at the frequencies set out in Table 1 of point 2.

Added:a: all samples are to be taken during times when the risk of treatment breakthrough of enteric pathogens is high.

Added:b: at least 10 samples are to be taken during times when the risk of treatment breakthrough of enteric pathogens is high.

Added:Note 1: A supply zone is a geographically defined area within which water intended for human consumption comes from one or more sources and water quality may be considered as being approximately uniform

Added:Note 2: The volumes are calculated as averages taken over a calendar year. The number of inhabitants in a supply zone may be used instead of the volume of water to determine the minimum frequency, assuming water consumption of 200 l/(day*capita).

Added:Note 3: Member States that have decided to exempt individual supplies under Article 3(2)(b) of this Directive shall apply these frequencies only for supply zones that distribute between 10 and 100 m 3 per day

Added:Sampling frequencies

Added:All parameters set in accordance with Article 5 shall be monitored at least at the frequencies set out in the following Table, unless a different sampling frequency is determined on the basis of a supply risk assessment carried out in accordance with Article 9 and part C of this Annex:

Added:Note 1: A supply zone is a geographically defined area within which water intended for human consumption comes from one or more sources and water quality may be considered as being approximately uniform.

Added:Note 2: The volumes are calculated as averages taken over a calendar year. The number of inhabitants in a supply zone may be used instead of the volume of water to determine the minimum frequency, assuming water consumption of 200 l/(day*capita).

Added:Note 3: The frequency indicated is calculated as follows: e.g. 4 300 m 3 /day = 16 samples (four for the first 1 000 m 3 /day + 12 for additional 3 300 m 3 /day).

Added:Note 4: Member States that have decided to exempt individual supplies under Article 3(2)(b) of this Directive shall apply these frequencies only for supply zones that distribute between 10 and 100 m 3 per day.

Added:Annex II – part D – point 2 a (new): 2a. samples for Legionella in domestic distribution systems shall be taken at risk points for proliferation of and/or exposure to Legionella pneumophila. Member States shall establish guidelines for sampling methods for Legionella;

Added:Annex II a (new): Minimum hygiene requirements for substances and materials for the manufacture of new products coming into contact with water intended for human consumption: / (a) a list of substances approved for use in the manufacture of materials, including, but not limited to, organic materials, elastomers, silicones, metals, cement, ion exchange resins and composite materials, and products made therefrom. / (b) specific requirements for the use of substances in materials and products made therefrom. / (c) specific restrictions on the migration of certain substances into water intended for human consumption. / (d) hygiene rules regarding other properties required for compliance. / (e) basic rules to verify compliance with points (a) to (d). / (f) rules concerning sampling and analysis methods to verify compliance with points (a) to (d).
