This annex also sets out the analyses to be carried out by the regional health agency during the visit to school facilities prior to their commissioning in accordance with the Articles R. 1321-10 and R. 1322-9 of the Public Health Code.
The frequency of sampling of water samples and analyses to be performed each year is defined in Appendix II to this Order. This frequency shall apply without prejudice to the sampling of water and analysis required under section 6 of this Order.
Water samples must be collected to be representative of water quality. They are carried out under normal operating conditions and in accordance with existing standards.
The definition of the sampling plan as part of the health control, including the identification of sampling locations by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency in accordance with the Articles R. 1321-15 and R. 1322-41 of the Public Health Code, relies on procedures for hazard analysis and control of critical points applied by the operator in accordance with theArticle R. 1322-29 of the Public Health Code, on the existing sampling plan, and in the case of thermal establishments, on network configuration and care categories as defined in Appendix II.
The management of lots, including their release, is based on the procedures for hazard analysis and control of critical points applied by the operator in accordance with theArticle R. 1322-29 of the Public Health Code.
The contents of the analyses required as part of the facility school visit are defined as follows:
1° For the packaging of a source water, water made drinking by treatment or natural mineral water or the distribution of natural mineral water in a public bush:
- the emergence, by capture, of a Ress0 type analysis as defined in Appendix I;
- after welding, by conditioning chain or at the public swab, an analysis of the type Cdt1, Cdt2, Cdt3, Cdt4 as defined in Appendix I, which allows to verify, inter alia, the absence of water alteration during storage, transport and the operation of water treatment facilities, if any;
2° For the use of natural mineral water in a thermal establishment:
- the emergence, by capture, of a complete Ress0 type analysis as defined in Appendix I;
- for care other than group external care (category I, II, III cares as defined in annex II): an analysis of type Th1 as defined in annex I, on a point of use by category of care, in each building and network (distribution unit) differentiated, under normal conditions of operation of the thermal establishment, allowing to verify, inter alia, the absence of water alteration in the course of storage
- for collective external care (category IV care as defined in Appendix II): a Th2 analysis as defined in Appendix I may be carried out by basin.
In the case of mixture of emergences, sampling of water samples and additional analysis for all or part of the parameters of the Ress0 type analysis as defined in Appendix I may be performed on all or part of the mixture, by decision of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency.
The contents of the analyses and annual frequencies of samples of water and required analyses are defined as follows:
1° For the packaging of a source water, water made drinking by treatment or natural mineral water or the distribution of natural mineral water in a public bush:
- the emergence, by capture, of Ress1 and Ress2 type analyses as defined in Appendix I, unless these analyses have already been carried out within the 2nd of Article 4 (use of natural mineral water for therapeutic purposes in a thermal establishment);
- at the point where the water is conditioned, before or after welding, by conditioning chain or at the public swab, an analysis of the type Cdt1, Cdt2, Cdt3, Cdt4 as defined in Appendix I, which allows to check, in particular, the absence of water alteration during storage or transport as well as the operation of the water treatment facilities where applicable.
If several packaging chains are powered by a single line, the control of certain parameters may be performed, by a decision of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, on a single packaging chain defined by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, regardless of the conditioning workshop.
Annual sampling frequencies for water samples and analysis to be performed are defined in Tables 1, 2 and 4 of Appendix II;
2° For the use of natural mineral water in a thermal establishment:
- the emergence, by capture, of Ress1 and Ress2-type analyses as defined in Appendix I, unless these analyses have already been carried out within the framework of 1° of Article 4 (natural mineral water conditioning or natural mineral water distribution in a public bush);
- for care other than group external care (category I, II, III cares as defined in Appendix II): an analysis of type Th1 as defined in Annex I, on a point of use by category of care in each building and network (distribution unit) differentiated, under normal conditions of operation of the thermal establishment, allowing to verify, inter alia, the absence of water alteration in the course of storage or operation of the A sampling of water samples at the point of use may be replaced, if any, by a sampling of water samples to be stored by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency;
- for collective external care (category IV care as defined in Appendix II): a Th2 analysis as defined in Appendix I by basin.
The annual sampling frequencies for water samples and analysis to be performed are defined in Table 5 of Appendix II. The frequencies indicated apply only during the opening period of the establishments;
3° For the packaging of a source water, water made drinking by treatment or natural mineral water or the distribution of a natural mineral water in a public bush or the use of natural mineral water in a thermal establishment:
- the emergence, by capture, of a Ress0 type analysis as defined in Appendix I, every five years. For facilities already authorized, the first Ress0 analysis is to be completed within one year of the effective date of this Order.
In the case of a mixture of emergences, samplings carried out as part of the Ress1 and Ress2 analyses of the 1° and 2° of this article on the emergence can be carried out on all or part of the mixture, by decision of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency.
The analyses referred to in Article 3 and Article 4 3 are deducted from the total volume of the analyses, as defined in Appendix II, to be carried out for the same year.
Additional samplings and analyses may be carried out, within the framework of the health control, for all or part of the parameters of the typical analyses defined in Annex I or any other relevant parameter under the conditions specified in theArticle R. 1322-42 of the Public Health Code, and also as part of the reporting of an incident to theArticle R. 1322-44-1 of the Public Health Code.
All parameters in Appendix I to this Order are subject to sampling and analysis according to the frequencies set out in Appendix II to this Order unless the Director General of the Regional Health Agency can establish that, for a period to which he or she is responsible, a parameter is not likely to be present in a given distribution at concentrations that may compromise compliance with quality requirements. This provision applies in particular to analyses conducted under the main part of the monitoring as defined in section 1 of this Order.
Additional analyses may be carried out, within the framework of the health control, for a parameter that is the subject of a treatment or whose concentration could be influenced by this treatment, without the frequency of analysis of this parameter exceeding six times a year.
The distribution of Cdt1, Cdt2, Cdt3, Cdt4, Th1 and Th2 analyses referred to in 1° and 2° of Article 4, between those carried out under health control and those carried out under the main part of the monitoring, is determined annually by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency. The operator shall, in particular, decide on the status of implementation of the quality approach, in accordance with the operatorArticle R. 1322-29 of the Public Health Codeand the results of the operator's monitoring provisions of articles R. 1322-39, R. 1322-41, R. 1322-43, R. 1322-44 and R. 1322-44-1 of the Public Health Code.
This distribution also takes into account:
- the consistency and compliance with the regulatory quality requirements of the results obtained for samples taken during a significant period of time appreciated by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency;
– the annual synthetic balance of operations of the facilities transmitted by the operator to the Director General of the Regional Health Agency in accordance with theArticle R. 1322-30 of the Public Health Code ;
– factors that may or may not alter the quality of the water;
– the number of analyses to be performed during the year.
However, the number of analyses carried out under the health control should not be lower:
- the annual number of analyses proposed in Table 3 of Appendix II for water conditioning facilities;
- one third of the annual number of analyses planned for each category of care in Table 5 of Appendix II for the thermal establishments.
In the case provided for in the first paragraph of section 7, a forecasting program is developed by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency to indicate to the operator the analyses of the main part of the monitoring, the results of which must be transmitted to the operator.
The results of the analyses of the main part of the monitoring carried out by the operator entering the first paragraph of this section shall be forwarded to the Director General of the Regional Health Agency by the Operations Officer, in accordance with the technical specifications for computer transmission and presentation of the analysis results specified by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency. The transmission of this synthesis is done at least once per quarter.
In case of non-compliance with the quality limits referred to in Articles R. 1321-2 and R. 1322-3 of the Public Health Code or public health hazard, the results must be sent immediately to the Director General of the Regional Health Agency in accordance with theArticle R. 1322-44-6 of the Public Health Code.
Health control analyses are performed by a laboratory referred to in thearticle R.* 1321-21 of the Public Health Code for source water and water made safe by treatment andarticle R.* 1322-44-3 of the Public Health Code for natural mineral water.
The analyses carried out under the main part of the operator's monitoring are carried out by a laboratory that meets the conditions of recognition defined by the operator.Article R. 1321-23 of the Public Health Code for source water or water made safe by treatment andArticle R. 1322-44 of the Public Health Code for natural mineral water.
This Order shall enter into force one year after its publication in the Official Journal of the French Republic, with the exception of the provisions of Article 8 which shall enter into force two years after the publication of this Order in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
The Decision of December 21, 1964 on water quality control is repealed.
Section 1 of the amended 14 October 1937 decision on the analysis of mineral water sources is replaced by the following provisions:
"Art. 1-The natural mineral water used for emergence and use in a thermal establishment must meet the microbiological standards set out in Appendix I."
Section 3 and Schedule I of the amended 14 October 1937 Order relating to the analysis of mineral water sources are repealed and Appendix II becomes Appendix I.
