8.—(1) A food authority must monitor the concentration of each of the parameters specified in the first column of the table in Part 3 of Schedule 2 (chemical parameters) in any water in its area to which this Schedule applies by analysing a sample of the water to determine whether the concentration of the parameter in the sample exceeds the concentration specified for the relevant parameter in the second column of the table—
(a)as measured by reference to the unit of measurement specified in the third column of the table, and
(b)as read, in the case of a parameter for which there is an entry in the fourth column of the table, with the further provision relating to the parameter or parametric concentration specified in that entry.
(2) For the purpose of the determination required by sub-paragraph (1), the food authority must analyse the sample using a method of analysis that complies with Part 5.
(3) But sub-paragraph (2) does not apply, and it is not necessary for a food authority to analyse a sample of water under sub-paragraph (1) to determine whether the concentration of acrylamide, epichlorohydrin or vinyl chloride exceeds the concentration specified for that parameter in the second column of the table in Part 3 of Schedule 2, where—
(a)the food authority is satisfied that the water, before it is bottled, does not come into contact with a pipe or other construction product that has been constructed using that parameter as a component in its construction, or
(b)in other cases, the food authority is satisfied, on the basis of a certificate of conformity, declaration of conformity or declaration of performance relating to a pipe or other construction product that the water comes into contact with, or may come into contact with, before being bottled, and any other related information that it considers to be relevant, that any residual monomer concentration of that parameter in the water does not exceed the concentration for that parameter specified in the second column of the table in Part 3 of Schedule 2.
(4) A food authority must not use the uncertainty of measurement percentage specified in the second column of the table in Section 2 of Part 5 (which is concerned with whether a method of analysis complies with minimum performance characteristics) as an additional tolerance when determining whether a parameter specified in the first column of the table in Part 3 of Schedule 2 exceeds the concentration for that parameter specified in the second column of the table in Part 3 of Schedule 2.
(5) In sub-paragraph (3)(b)—
“certificate of conformity” means a certificate of conformity issued on or before 30th June 2013—
“construction product” has the meaning given in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC;
“declaration of conformity” means a declaration of conformity issued on or before 30th June 2013—
“declaration of performance” means a declaration of performance drawn up in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council.]
