Keeping Standards up-to-date

Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued. Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which may have been published since the Standard was purchased.

Detailed information about joint Australian/New Zealand Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Web Shop at www.standards.com.au or Standards New Zealand web site at www.standards.co.nz and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line catalogue.

Alternatively, both organizations publish an annual printed Catalogue with full details of all current Standards. For more frequent listings or notification of revisions, amendments and withdrawals, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand offer a number of update options. For information about these services, users should contact their respective national Standards organization.

We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Please address your comments to the Chief Executive of either Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand at the address shown on the back cover.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 03199.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee WS-014, National Plumbing and Drainage Code, to supersede AS/NZS 3500.1.2:1998, National plumbing and drainage, Part 1.2: Water—Acceptable solutions.

The objective of this Standard is to provide installers with solutions to comply with—

(a) the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA); and

(b) the New Zealand Building Code (clause G12 Water Supplies).

This Standard is part of a series for plumbing and drainage, as follows:

AS/NZS

3500 Plumbing and drainage

3500.0 Part 0: Glossary of terms

3500.1 Part 1: Water services (this Standard).

3500.2 Part 2: Sanitary plumbing and drainage

3500.3 Part 3: Stormwater drainage

3500.4 Part 4: Heated water systems.

3500.5 Part 5: Domestic installations

This revision includes the following changes:

(a) Aligning the requirements with the Plumbing Code of Australia.

(b) Clarification of the sections on hydrants and water tanks.

(c) New provisions for non-drinking water and rainwater tanks.

(d) Revision of the materials used in plumbing.

(e) Incorporation of Amendment 1, 2002 and PL/1 rulings 2002 numbers 1 to 35.

This Standard is to be read in conjunction with the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA).

Where alternative Australian or New Zealand standards are referenced (such as AS 1345 or NZS 5807 as appropriate) the Australian Standard shall be used for Australia and the New Zealand Standard shall be used for New Zealand.

The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to figures and tables are deemed to be requirements of this Standard.

This document includes commentary on some of the clauses of the Standard. The commentary directly follows the relevant clause, is designated by ‘C’ preceding the clause number and is printed in italics in a box. The commentary is for information and guidance and does not form part of the Standard.

PROVISION FOR REVISION

This Standard necessarily deals with existing conditions, but is not intended to discourage innovation or to exclude materials, equipment and methods, which may be developed in future. Revisions will be made from time to time in view of such developments and amendments to this edition will be made only when absolutely necessary.
