The South African National Standard SANS241 is a drinking water specification that states the minimum requirements for water to be considered safe for human consumption.
The analysis will be carried out on water sample, according to the South African National Drinking Water Standard of 2015 (SANS241). The standard specifies the quality of acceptable drinking water defined in terms of the microbiological, physical aesthetic as well as the chemical determinants at the point of delivery.
