(16) In order to reduce the potential administrative burden for water suppliers supplying between 10 m^(3) and 100 m^(3) per day as an average or serving between 50 and 500 people, Member States should be able to exempt those water suppliers from carrying out a risk assessment of the supply system, provided that regular monitoring in accordance with this Directive is carried out. As an exception, the implementation of the risk-based approach should be adapted to the specific constraints of maritime vessels that desalinate water and carry passengers. Union flag maritime vessels comply with the international regulatory framework when sailing in international waters. It should be ensured that priority is given to existing international regulations or internationally acknowledged standards, such as the vessel sanitation programme developed by the United States Public Health Service, which are more detailed and more stringent and apply to ships on international waters.
