Number Control Point Compliance Criteria Level References FV4.1.1 Is there evidence of a risk assessment covering the microbiological quality of the water used in all pre-harvest operations? A written risk assessment of microbiological quality of the water is conducted. It includes water source, proximity to potential sources of contamination, application timing (growth stage of the crop), application method, and placement of application (harvestable part of the crop, other parts of the crop, ground between crops, etc.).
