There should be documented procedures in place detailing how water samples are taken in the field including stating how samples should be identified i.e. clearly naming the location that the sample was taken, the water source and the date (this is important in order to be able to calculate geometric means). Samples should be taken at a point as close to the point of use as possible where water contacts the crop, so as to test both the water source and the water distribution system.

If self contained toilets are used, the toilet basins should be emptied, pumped, and cleaned in a manner to avoid contamination to product, packaging, equipment, and growing areas. Equipment used in emptying/pumping must be in good working order. A documented policy should exist and if occurring at the time of the verification, the policy should be followed.
