ARCHIVE: CPP documents

Over the years, the approvals process for products and processes for use in public water supply has changed. In view of this, Regulation 31 Enquiries have created this area to store archived information, mainly regarding the now disbanded CPP (Committee on Products and Processes for use in Public Water Supplies). Please see an historical outline of the approval process below.
