The values in parenthesis are the measured concentrations multiplied by 1.3.
The EC has accepted that these values may be used to check the compliance with the limit values (see above).

The limit values are implemented through EU Council Directive 1999/30/EC of 22 April 1999 (Official Journal of the European Communities - L163/41).
