(51) In order for water suppliers to have a full set of data available when they start carrying out the risk assessment and risk management of the supply system, a transition period of three years should be introduced for new parameters. This will allow Member States to carry out the identification of hazards and hazardous events during those first three years after the end date for transposition of this Directive, and to provide data to water suppliers on the new parameters, thereby avoiding any unnecessary monitoring by water suppliers if it is found that a parameter does not need to be monitored further to the first identification of hazards and hazardous events. During those initial three years, water suppliers should nevertheless carry out the risk assessment of the supply system, or use existing risk assessments already carried out under Directive (EU) 2015/1787, for those parameters that were part of Annex I to Directive 98/83/EC, given that data will already be available for those parameters when this Directive enters into force.
