Contaminated RWY

Hi folks,

Anybody could be so kind to help me with a small doubt regarding Contamination Depths and correct calcolation ?

We all use standing water equivalent table when we are calculating our performance, my question is quite simple and is: what kind of performance you use if the contaminant (standing water, slush or snow) is reported but below the limit to be consider contaminated.

Example:

ATIS REPORT : 5mm of loose wet snow
AFM report that the rwy is consider contaminated of loose wet snow with 7mm and is providing calculation for 7mm and 15mm

Do you use: Loose wet snow 7mm, Slush, wet, or dry performance? and why?

Do you have any reference of EASA/FAA regolation that is answaring at my question?

Thanks for the help
