Full title and description

SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 — "Drinking water. Hygienic requirements for the quality of water in centralized (public) drinking-water supply systems. Quality control." This sanitary regulation sets mandatory hygienic requirements, control procedures and monitoring rules for potable water supplied by centralized water systems and includes provisions on safety of hot-water supply systems and safety requirements for treatment materials and reagents.

Abstract

SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 establishes hygienic norms and production (operational) control rules for microbiological, chemical, physical and organoleptic indicators of drinking water in centralized supply systems. It defines lists of controlled parameters, sampling frequency, responsibilities of operating organizations and requirements for materials, reagents and equipment used in water treatment and hot-water systems. The document has been amended since approval and has served as the principal Russian sanitary regulation for potable water quality for two decades.

Scope

Applies to centralized (public) drinking-water supply systems in populated areas. It establishes hygienic requirements for drinking water quality (microbiological, chemical, physical and organoleptic indicators), rules for production and operational quality control, sampling frequencies and procedures, rules for establishing monitoring lists for particular water sources, and requirements to materials, reagents and equipment used in water treatment and hot-water supply systems.

Key topics and requirements

• Hygienic norms for microbiological safety (e.g., bacteriological indicators and control regimes).
• Chemical limits for a wide list of contaminants and an alphabetical index of substances for control.
• Physical and organoleptic requirements (taste, odor, color, turbidity, total dissolved solids).
• Rules for selection of controlled parameters and formulation of a production quality-control programme tailored to source and local conditions.
• Requirements for materials, reagents and equipment used in water treatment (safety and migration limits from materials).
• Specific hygienic requirements and operational control for centralized hot-water supply systems.
• Procedures for sampling frequency, analytical methods and responsibilities of operating organizations.

Typical use and users

Used by public health authorities, municipal and regional water utilities, designers and constructors of water supply systems, water treatment professionals, accredited analytical laboratories, environmental consultants and legal/compliance teams to ensure potable water meets sanitary and epidemiological requirements and to design and operate monitoring and control programmes. Operators of centralized water supply systems are obliged to ensure compliance with the regulation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 is a Russian sanitary regulation that sets hygienic requirements and quality-control rules for drinking (potable) water in centralized public water-supply systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers microbiological, chemical, physical and organoleptic requirements for drinking water; lists controlled substances and limits; prescribes sampling and monitoring programmes; specifies safety requirements for materials, reagents and equipment used in treatment; and includes provisions on centralized hot-water system safety and operational control.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Municipal and regional water utilities, public health and sanitary authorities, water-treatment designers and operators, accredited laboratories, environmental consultants and compliance/legal teams. Operators of centralized systems are required to implement the regulation's control measures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 was approved on 26 September 2001 and entered into force on 1 January 2002; it has been amended over time (examples include 2.1.4.2496-09 and changes noted as 2.1.4.2580-10). Parts of the regulatory framework for water and related sanitary rules have been updated by later sanitary rules introduced in 2021 and afterwards—therefore users should verify the regulation's current legal status and applicable amendments with official regulatory sources before relying on it for compliance decisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the SanPiN series of sanitary-epidemiological rules and is grouped under potable water and water-supply rules (2.1.4.x family). It should be considered together with related SanPiN documents and GN (guideline) documents that set maximum permissible concentrations and other sectoral rules.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Drinking water; potable water; hygiene; water quality control; microbiological indicators; chemical contaminants; sanitary rules; centralized water supply; hot-water safety; materials safety.
