Chloramine certification?
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to see all information held by the Health Protection Agency have on the certification of chloramine (also called monochloramine),this would include but not be limited to,any certification to British Standards (BS:EN) and European Standards (EN).
Yours faithfully,
M.Jones
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
