Rules on water quality assessment and classification
Assessment and classification of microbiological analyses
(1) At the end of each bathing season, the public health authority shall compile a set of data for each monitoring site, which shall include the results of the determination of the indicators referred to in Section 5 for the just ended and 3 of the previous bathing season. The data set shall contain at least 4 results for each indicator from each assessed bathing season. However, if one of the assessed bathing seasons was less than 8 weeks, the data set shall contain at least 3 results.
(2) The data set shall be compiled from a smaller number of bathing seasons than referred to in paragraph 1, in cases where:
(a) a newly designated monitoring site monitored for less than 4 bathing seasons; or
(b) if during the previous 4 bathing seasons there has been a change likely to affect the classification of water referred to in paragraph 5. In this case, the data set shall be compiled from the results measured after this change. However, the data set shall always contain at least 16 samples, except swimming pools where the bathing season is less than 8 weeks. In this case, the file shall contain at least 8 samples.
(3) Only the results obtained in accordance with the monitoring calendar shall be included in the data set, except for the results which have been omitted due to short-term pollution; The results shall not include samples taken to establish that short-term pollution has ended.
The results of enterococci and termotolerant coliform bacteria obtained under Decree No. 135 / 2004 Coll. For this purpose, the termotolerant coliform bacterium indicator is considered equivalent to the Escherichia coli indicator.
(4) The water quality assessment shall be carried out on completion of each bathing season in accordance with the procedure set out in Annex 3 to this Regulation, using the data set referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, as appropriate. On the basis of the assessment, the quality of bathing water is classified in accordance with Annex 3 to this Decree by a degree
1. excellent
2. good
3.Acceptable
4. Unsatisfactory.
(5) Where the data set does not contain a sufficient number of samples referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, an assessment and classification under paragraph 4 shall not be possible. Pending the first classification, microbiological pollution shall be assessed by the public health authority on the basis of an assessment of health risks.

Assessment of the incidence of sinuses
(1) Before the start of the bathing season, the public health authority shall assess whether they are likely to be expected to reproduce sines exceeding the level I limits in accordance with Annex 4 to this Decree, Table 2, during the bathing season. This assessment shall be carried out on the basis of data on the occurrence of sinuses in previous bathing seasons. In the case of a site from which no data on the occurrence of sinuses from previous seasons are available, it is assumed that the multiplication of sinuses is likely if it is not possible to conclude otherwise depending on the location. In particular, waters where the presence of sinuses exceeding the level II limits referred to in paragraph 2 or exceeding the level I limits in the previous season has been recorded shall be considered to be waters which are highly likely to be producing sinuses.
(2) The evaluation of the incidence of sinuses is carried out in accordance with Annex 4 to this Decree. If the level I limits are exceeded, a reduction of the sampling frequency for inspection shall be chosen to 5 to 9 days.
(3) Exceedance of the level I, stage II limit values and, in the case of sinuses not forming surface water flowers, stage III, is achieved when the limit values are exceeded both for the sinuses and for the chlorophyll- and listed in Table 2 of Annex 4 to this Decree.
(4) If in the previous assessment in the ongoing bathing season the limits for stage III have been exceeded, the evaluation referred to in Annex 4 to this Decree of Table 3 shall be carried out.
Assessment of multi-cell organisms
(1) Each year prior to the establishment of a monitoring calendar, the public health authority will assess, in accordance with Part A of Annex 5a, the bathing water decree, whether there is a high risk of multi-cell organisms causing grade 2 or 3 cervical dermatitis agents.
(2) If cyclic dermatitis occurs in bathing persons during the current bathing season, the monitoring referred to in Part B of Annex 5a to this Decree shall be carried out. Where stage 1, 2 or 3 cervical dermatitis agents have been found in accordance with Part C of Annex 5a to this Decree, further sampling shall be carried out at intervals of 3 to 5 weeks.
