PART3 — Annual sampling frequencies: treatment works and supply points

Annual sampling frequencies for Group A2 parameters: treatment works or supply points

This table and each table which follows it in this Part set out the annual sampling frequencies for all the substances and parameters comprising each of the groups to which they correspond at treatment works or supply points, those groups having been outlined in Part 1 of this Schedule. The frequencies are determined according to the volume of water supplied at each treatment works or supply point. The number of samples to be taken is the standard number specified in column 2, unless a notice varying this number has been given under regulation 9.

(1)“Uncertainty of measurement” is a non-negative parameter characterising the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a measurement, based on the information used. The performance criterion for measurement uncertainty (k = 2) is at least the percentage of the parametric value stated in the table.

The performance criterion for measurement uncertainty (k = 2) is at least the percentage of the parametric value stated in the table.
(2)If the value of uncertainty of measurement cannot be met, the best available technique must be selected (up to 60% of the parametric value). (2)If the value of uncertainty of measurement cannot be met, the best available technique must be selected (up to 60% of the parametric value).
