The performance of a water treatment scheme is based on the design of the individual treatment processes and the technology used. Validation guidance and protocols are grounded in the latest research findings and industry best practice to meet the requirements for validation and demonstrate the contaminant reduction for individual treatment processes.

The performance of a Water treatment process is based on the design of the individual processes and the technology used and expressed as the Log Reduction Value (LRV). The level of overall treatment required to achieve safe water is dependent on the level of contamination. The treatment target is expressed as a total LRV. Following the multiple barrier approach each treatment process is assigned an LRV based on the validation process. The purpose of the validation of each treatment process is to demonstrate that the claimed LRVs are achieved under defined operating conditions. The WaterVal Protocols are grounded in the latest research findings and industry best practice to meet the requirements of validation. Through extensive collaboration, a national consensus has been achieved, establishing uniform validation testing methods, processes, and documentation standards for validation protocols. This consensus ensures consistency and reliability across jurisdications, advancing confidence in the validation process and its outcomes.
