SCHEDULE 11MINIMUM FREQUENCIES FOR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF SPRING WATER AND BOTTLED DRINKING WATER
Minimum frequency of sampling and analysis for water put into bottles or containers intended for sale | ||
|---|---|---|
| Volume of water produced for offering for sale in bottles or containers each day (1) m3 | Check monitoring number of samples per year | Audit monitoring number of samples per year |
| ≤ 10 | 1 | 1 |
| > 10 ≤ 60 | 12 | 1 |
