GUIDE STANDARD AND PROTOCOL
ABOUT THE STANDARD
The guide standard and testing protocol was developed to be useful in a number of ways:
As a basic framework, starting point for the testing and evaluation of microbiological water purifiers for EPA registration.
As a guide to the acceptance of water treatment units for compliance with Safe Drinking water Act requirements where point of use units may be needed temporarily to treat a contaminated public water supply or for emergency situations, but not for use in extreme overseas situations of for the conversion of waste water to microbiological potable water.
As a testing guide to manufacturers wishing to have their units considered as microbiological water purifiers, whether registered or not, and for the evaluation of such testing data.
As a guide to consumers regarding what they can expect from microbiological water purifiers tested according to this standard and protocol.
To assist in the research and development of microbiological treatment units for possible military applications.
Replacement Components for a system may or may not reduce all reduction claims that system makes. Verify through literature what contaminant(s) each replacement component reduces. Note that replacement component(s) may be required for system to operate properly even though that same replacement component may not reduce contaminants for claims made under this standard.
