8. A test value for vanadium has been included in Table 12 of the Assessment Guideline.

9. With the 5th amendment (Notification 2026/0142/DE), vanadium oxide was added to the Assessment Guideline as a possible ingredient for enamels and other glass-like materials. Therefore, the introduction of a test value for vanadium is now necessary.

9a. The amendment to the Assessment Guideline is appropriate because an additional test value was needed for migration studies.

9b. The amendment to the Assessment Guideline is necessary because test values are required for updating the test requirements for conformity assessments of enamels and other glass-like materials suitable for drinking water hygiene.
