Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Secondary Test Kit
Violation: The inspector asked staff to use their secondary standards kit to verify calibration of their pool test kit. The secondary test kit brought to the inspector had an expiration date of 10 December 2017. The kit was discarded and another kit was brought to the inspector, which had an expiration date of 10 March 2022.
Recommendation: Ensure the halogen test kit used to calibrate the halogen analyzer is accurate to within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) for halogen and graduated in increments no greater than 0.2 mg/L (ppm) in the range of free residual halogen normally maintained in the potable water system. Ensure all reagents used with the test kit are not past their expiration dates. Where available, maintain appropriate secondary standards onboard for electronic test kits to verify test kit operation.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Forward and Aft Evaporator Unit
Violation: The distillate water striping had just two blue lines with the pipe color in between. However, the potable water line was labeled with one blue stripe, and in some cases two blue stripes with the pipe color in between as well. The inspector explained that the distillate water line needed to be re-striped blue/grey/blue, so as to distinguish itself from the potable water labeling.
Recommendation: Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. Stripe or paint distillate and permeate lines directed to the potable water system in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/gray/blue). Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water. Uniquely identify all refrigerant brine lines in all galleys, pantries, and cold rooms to prevent cross-connections.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Forward Evaporator Unit

Recommendation: Ensure air gaps are at least twice the diameter of the delivery fixture opening and a minimum of 25 millimeters (1 inch).
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Laundry Room
Violation: The air gap for the reduced pressure assembly was insufficient. The vent opening diameter was 1.5 inches, however the air gap to the drain was 1 inch. The air gap should be twice the diameter making the distance 3.0 inches. This was corrected during the inspection.
