43、reational water facility operation. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parenthesis, the second value may be only approximate. The first stated value is the requirement. In this edition of NSF/ANSI 50 editorial revisions and the following issues were incorporated: Iss
44、ue 89 UV Systems and Alerting to incorporate updated language and requirements into section 14.5. Issue 92 Disinfection Efficacy to incorporate updated language and requirements for section 14.8 and Annex H. Issue 99 Flow metering device to add language for testing, performance, labeling, and materi
45、als for flow meters to NSF/ANSI 50. Issue 102 Ozone definitions to add definitions to support the ozone requirements in the Standard. Issue 112 Ozone Annex H to update Annex H in regards to ozone production testing requirements, by removing the requirement of recording dew point and O2 concentration
46、 of output of the air prep equipment. Issue 113 Annex F to update F.4.5 Acceptance criteria. Issue 114 Section 14 error to replace output with operational protection as a required post-life test as protection was included in previous version of the standard. Suggestions for improvement of this Stand
47、ard are welcome. This Standard is maintained on a Continuous Maintenance schedule and can be opened for comment at any time.
