Materials and substances used shall be suitable for contact with drinking water. NOTE Product intended for use in water supply systems should comply, when existing, with national regulations and testing arrangements that ensure fitness for contact with drinking water. The Member states, relevant regulators and the EC Commission agreed on the principles of a future unique European Acceptance Scheme (EAS), which would provide a common testing and approval arrangement at European level. If and when the EAS is adopted, European Product Standards will be amended by the addition of an Annex Z/EAS under Mandate M/136, which will contain formal references to the testing, certification and product marking requirements of the EAS. The mechanical design and the construction shall comply with the relevant requirements for the pressure present. Direct or indirect leaking of radiation from the radiation chamber to the environment with a wavelength below 400 nm shall be avoided. Radiation chambers shall be constructed in a way that they are easily serviceable. For UV disinfection devices, the radiation chamber shall be provided with a sensor for a representative irradiation measurement. The location of the sensor shall be designed so that the irradiation measurement is not disturbed by gas bubbles or sediment deposits. 4.3 Low-pressure mercury UV lamps In order not to produce ozone, only lamps with a radiation range above 240 nm shall be used. At the line of 254 nm shall be 85 % of the total radiation intensity in the UV C range at the mercury resonance. Lamp(s) shall be marked with a designation of type. Only those lamps used for the type test shall be used in the UV device. The UV lamp(s) shall be approved for the device by the manufacturer or be equivalent to the approved type used at the type test. 4.4 Electrical 4.4.1 General For the electrotechnical design of UV devices, the relevant EC Directives and CE marking requirements shall be accomodated.
