The Council will, as necessary, determine limit values and appropriate measures later for industrial sectors treating HCH which are not mentioned in this table, and in particular for industrial plants for lindane formulation producing protective agents for plants, wood and cables. Meanwhile, the Member States will independently fix emission standards for the discharges from such plants, taking into account the best technical means available. Limit values by weight (monthly average). Limit values by concentration (monthly flow-weighted average concentration of HCH). Limit values applicable to the total quantity of HCH present in all discharges of water containing HCH coming from the site of the industrial plant.
