29、 Technology Evaluation of components and devices used in wastewater treatment systems 1 General 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Standard is to establish minimum materials, design and construction, and performance requirements for components and devices used in the handling, treating, recycling, reus
30、ing, or disposal of wastewater. This Standard is intended to protect public health and the environment as well as to minimize nuisance factors. 1.2 Scope This Standard is intended for use with components and devices not covered by other NSF wastewater standards. Components and devices covered by thi
31、s Standard are intended for use with greywater or blackwater or both. Management methods for the end-products of these components and devices are not addressed in this Standard. This Standard shall in no way restrict new system designs, provided that such designs meet the minimum specifications desc
32、ribed herein. All devices and components meeting the scope of this Standard shall comply with all of the requirements described in 1 through 8. In addition, devices and components shall comply with the applicable subsequent section(s) contained in this Standard. Where subsequent sections of the Stan
33、dard include requirements that overlap with those found in 1 through 8, the requirements of both sections shall be met unless otherwise specified in the requirements of the subsequent section. 1.3 Alternate materials, design, and construction While specific materials, designs, and construction may b
34、e stipulated in this Standard, devices that incorporate alternate materials, designs, or construction may be acceptable when it is verified that such systems meet the applicable requirements. 2 Normative references The following documents contain provisions that, through reference in this text, cons
