Water testing / certification
In this section you will find regulations and standards on the requirements and testing of equipment, consumer devices, etc., for example for certification.
This document ISO 17885 specifies the requirements for mechanical fittings for joining plastic piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels, the supply of water for human consumption and other purposes, as well as for industrial application. It provides a unified set of test methods to check the performance of the fittings, depending on their intended use. It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to select the appropriate fitting, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national guidance or regulations and installation practices or codes.
GW 301 Technical Rule ‑ Standard 01/2021
For the purposes of this Standard GW 381, the term minimum requirements implies that further requirements can ensue from technical rules and legal provisions and/or that the ordering party may stipulate further requirements, in particular in the presence of special features or needs for protection or other constraints. The optional criteria shall, without claiming to be exhaustive, be considered guidance for the ordering party who shall decide on the need for further requirements. If a company consists of several units, this technical rule applies to the units in charge of underground construction and, without exception, to independent subsidiaries as well. A subsidiary shall be assumed to be independent if, in effect, it actually controls most operations and/or if the head office of the company is unable to provide the supervision of the staff and the construction sites as required.
