Key regulatory frameworks include:

• WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (4th edition) — recommends a risk-based approach (Water Safety Plans) with operational monitoring for E. coli
• EU Drinking Water Directive 2020/2184 — mandates E. coli and Enterococci monitoring; encourages risk-based monitoring aligned with WHO WSP
• EU Bathing Water Directive 2006/7/EC — requires E. coli and Enterococci monitoring at designated bathing sites
• EU GMP Annex 1 (Pharma) — requires microbiological monitoring of water used in sterile manufacturing

ColiMinder supports compliance with all of the above by providing validated, real-time E. coli data with traceable results.
