2.    To label test result of total filtered water capacity about the cloudiness for all water purifiers. (Conforming to JIS S 3201:2019)

3.    To label test result of the minimum water pressure necessary for a pump to operate for the water purifiers with the pump. (Conforming to JIS S 3201:2019)

4.    To label test result of the filtered water capacity for the batch-type water purifiers. (Conforming to JIS S 3201:2019)
