Description
The Potable Water Test Kits enable ships staff to monitor the quality of the drinking water on board the
ship by providing tests for important operational control parameters and verification tests for bacteria that
can be of risk to human health. The range of tests can be used on the ship either as a standalone control
solution or as a supplement to laboratory analysis, dependant on flag state guidelines.
Features
• Self contained testing kit for E.Coli and Coliforms.
• Helps you to meet MLC 2006 recommendations for the quality of drinking water.
• Includes compact and robust sample incubator.
• USB with training material.
Benefits
• Incubator ensures that you achieve consistent test results.
• Additional test kits can be added as required to meet flag state and / or company requirements.
• USB training material supports you with crew training and competency.
Diseases on board ships
Improperly managed water is an established route for infectious disease transmission on ships. This was
illustrated in a review of more than 100 outbreaks associated with ships undertaken by Rooney et al.
(2004). One fifth was attributed to a waterborne route.
Maritime Labour Convention 2006
The Marine Labour Convention(MLC) 2006 is the platformfor the international Labour Organisation (ILO)
to implement standards for the employment and living conditions for workers in the marine industry.
These standards include the requirement that "Each member shall adopt laws and regulations or other
measures to provide minium standards for the quantity and quality of food and drinking water and for the
catering standards that apply to meals provided to seafarers on ships that fly its flag, and shall undertake
educational activities to promote awareness and implementation of the standards referred to in this
paragraph." (Standard A3.2 Food and Catering).
WHO "Guide to Ship Sanitation" (Third Edition)
"A ship operator's role is to provide safe water to passengers and crew, fit for all intended purposes. Water
on board should be kept clean and free from pathogenic organisms and harmful chemicals. Responsibilities
are to monitor the water system, particulary for microbial and chemical indicators, to report adverse
results under the IHR 2005, where required and to take corrective action".| LK-K100141 Standard Potable Water Kit |
