Name	Identifier of the group of bathing waters
Definition	Unique identifier of the group of bathing waters.
Methodology for obtaining data	If the bathing water belongs to a group, the groupIdentifier must be reported. In accordance with Article 4.5 of the BWD, the group must have at least two bathing waters that are contiguous, received similar assessments and have profiles that identify common risk factors (or the absence thereof). Samples collected in the group of bathing waters will be used for the assessment of the bathing water quality in each of the bathing waters. The identifier must follow the syntax rules set for the WISE identifiers. The WISE identifiers must: - Start with the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, except for Greece ('EL') and the United Kingdom ('UK'); - Be followed by the national code, with a maximum of 40 characters; - Use only uppercase letters [A to Z] and digits [0 to 9]. - The underscore character ('_') or the hyphen character ('-') may be used as separators within the code (but not to separate the country code from the national code, and not in the end of the code).
