(b) * * *
(5) Radiological quality. (i) Bottled water shall, when a composite
of analytical units of equal volume from a sample is examined by the
methods described in paragraph (b((5)(ii) of this section, meet
standards of radiological quality as follows:
(A) The bottled water shall not contain a combined radium-226 and
radium-228 activity in excess of 5 picocuries per liter of water.
(B) The bottled water shall not contain a gross alpha particle
activity (including radium-226, but excluding radon and uranium) in
excess of 15 picocuries per liter of water.
(C) The bottled water shall not contain beta particle and photon
radioactivity from manmade radionuclides in excess of that which would
produce an annual dose equivalent to the total body or any internal
organ of 4 millirems per year calculated on the basis of an intake of 2
liters of the water per day. If two or more beta or photon-emitting
radionuclides are present, the sum of their annual dose equivalent to
the total body or to any internal organ shall not exceed 4 millirems
per year.
(ii) Analyses conducted to determine compliance with paragraph
(b)(5)(i) of this section shall be made in accordance with the methods
described in the applicable sections of ``Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater,'' 15th Ed. (1980), and ``Interim
Radiochemical Methodology for Drinking Water,'' U.S. EPA, EMSL, EPA-
600/4-75-008 (Revised), March
