  • Recreational water operators (e.g., swimming pools, beaches)

  • Aquatic life support systems (e.g., aquariums, fish farms)

  • Food processing industries

    • Failure to comply with these standards can result in legal and regulatory consequences, including fines, penalties, and even closure of operations.

    Standard Compliance Requirements:

    Industries and sectors that require compliance with these standards include:

  • Drinking water suppliers

  • Wastewater treatment plants

  • Recreational water operators

  • Aquatic life support systems

  • Food processing industries

    • Failure to comply with these standards can result in legal and regulatory consequences, including fines, penalties, and even closure of operations.
