5.3 Duration and timing of test

 The duration of the test period should be a minimum of 10 days and should be timed to capture normal operational conditions, taking into account the type of system and the number of persons and hydraulic loading for which the sewage treatment plant will be type approved. Noting that the systems need a period of stabilization, the test should commence after steady-state conditions have been reached by the sewage treatment plant under test.
