From page 49...
... The RMIC values are based on a maximum dosage of 15 mg of sodium metabisulfite/liter of water and are to be compared to impurity concentrations obtained by using sample procedures described in this monograph. If the actual dosage is other than 15 mg/liter, the user is cautioned to consult Table 2 for appropriate RMIC values.
