Compliance is verified by comparing the standard with the arithmetic average of the concentrations measured in the last 4 samples.
Resinic and fatty acids as well as phenolic compounds are the sum of the compounds appearing in Schedule XI.
Despite the foregoing, in the case of other wastewater referred to in sections 53, 95 and 128 to which the provisions of this section apply, the standards are expressed as maximum concentrations; for TSS and for BOD5, the standard is 30 mg/litre.
