Order of the Acting Minister of Health validating the Technical Regulation "On the safety of technical water supplied by technical water supply systems of a populated area".

This Order primarily addresses the development and approval of technical regulations concerning the safety of technical water supplied through centralized systems within built-up areas. Its objectives include establishing safety requirements for technical water, defining relevant terms and procedures, and ensuring protection of human health, the environment, and living organisms. The regulation aims to set standards for the reuse of technical water generated during various activities, emphasizing compliance with safety indicators related to microbiological, chemical, radiation, toxicological, and physico-chemical parameters. Key measures outlined include the mandatory use of materials suitable for technical water systems, adherence to safety standards, and regular maintenance and cleaning of water supply networks. The regulation specifies that technical water must meet safety requirements, with monitoring conducted at least quarterly by accredited laboratories. In cases of violations or emergencies, measures such as halting water sources and repairing pipelines are mandated to mitigate health hazards. Additionally, the regulation prescribes clear marking of water supply systems and detailed technical documentation, including standards, control points, and maintenance regimes, to be developed by operating organizations. Implementation responsibilities are assigned to the Health and Epidemiological Control Committee, which is tasked with overseeing compliance, ensuring proper documentation, and facilitating the dissemination of the regulation through electronic and public postings. The regulation stipulates that monitoring of its enforcement is entrusted to the Vice-Minister of Health. Procedural aspects include the development of technical documentation in both state and Russian languages, and entities involved in technical water activities are held accountable for adherence to these requirements, as per established legal procedures.
