Dear Mr Jones

Re: Certification of chloramine

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 23 November 2009
regarding information held by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) on the certification
of chloramine. Under section 1 (1) (a) of the Act I can confirm that we do not hold the
information you have requested.

In accordance with our section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would
suggest that you contact the British Standards Institution (http://www.bsigroup.com/)
regarding chlorine BS EN 937:1999, and ammonium sulphate BS EN 12123:1999.

You may also find more information in Annex 2 of the Drinking Water Inspectorate’s
list of approved products for use in Public Water Supply in the United Kingdom
(http://www.dwi.gov.uk/31/pdf/soslist06.pdf)

I hope you have found this information useful, however, if you are dissatisfied with
this response and would like a copy of the HPA complaints procedure then please
contact Mr George Stafford, Complaints Manager at: Health Protection Agency, 61
Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5EQ.

Please note that you have the right to an independent review by the Information
Commissioner’s Office if a complaint cannot be resolved through the HPA complaints
procedure. The Information Commissioner’s Office can be contacted by writing to
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire
SK9 5AF.

Please contact me if you require any further information or assistance.

Yours sincerely

Dear Health Protection Agency,

Thank you for your response,which in your confusion you seem to
have sent to a seperate FOI request,but which I've included here as
an annotation.

Is the reason for you being unable to provide a British Standard
(BS:EN) for chloramine that such a standard does not actually exist
for this chemical?

It is interesting to note that whilst you claim you do not have
access to the British Standard (BS:EN) for chloramine,you provide
me with the British Standard information to two other chemicals
which appear to have no connection to my Freedom of
Information Request - perhaps you could explain the purpose of the
inclusion of this data in your response?

I have looked at Annex 2 of the Drinking Water Inspectorate's "List
of Approved Products For Use In The Public Water Supply in the
United Kingdom" but can find no mention of chloramine - exactly
what information were you suggesting that I 'may' find in this
document?

Yours sincerely,

M.Jones
