a.         For drinking water TOC testing:

i.         That inorganic carbon be removed from each TOC sample before analysis,

ii.        That each TOC sample not be filtered before analy- sis,

iii.      That the pH of each TOC sample be checked and documented before analysis and that the test result be qualified in the final report if the sample pH was

>2, and

iv.       That each acidified TOC sample be analyzed within 28 days; and

b.        For drinking water DOC testing:

i.         That each DOC sample be filtered through a 0.45 um pore-diameter filter as soon as practical and no later than 48 hours after sampling,

ii.        That each DOC sample be acidified after filtration to achieve a pH 2 with minimal addition of the acid specified in the method or by the instrument manu- facturer,

iii.      That each acidified DOC sample be analyzed within 28 days after sample collection,

iv.       That inorganic carbon be removed from each DOC sample before analysis,

v.        That water passed through the filter before filtration of the DOC sample serve as the filtered blank, and

vi.       That the filtered blank be analyzed using procedures identical to those used for analysis of the DOC sam- ple and have DOC < 0.5 mg/L;

c.         For drinking water testing of UV-absorbing organic con- stituents:

i.         That UV absorption be measured at 253.7 nm or 254 nm,

ii.        That each UV sample be filtered through a 0.45 um pore-diameter filter before analysis,

iii.      That the pH of UV samples not be adjusted, and

iv.       That each UV sample be analyzed as soon as practi- cal and no later than 48 hours after sampling; and

d.        For drinking water disinfection  byproducts testing  by micro liquid-liquid extraction/GC-ECD using method 6251B, that each sample be extracted within 14 days after sample collection.
