Its purp

21、ose is to establish minimum materials, design and construction, and performance testing and evaluation requirements for these devices. Minimum literature requirements to be supplied by manufacturers to authorized representatives and owners are also specified. In this edition of NSF/ANSI 41, the foll

22、owing was revised: Issue 7: Normative References were reviewed and updated through the ballot of this issue. ANSI/NSF 41 was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Wastewater Technology using the consensus process described by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI prohibits the inc

23、lusion of commercial terms and conditions, such as manufacturers warranties and guarantees, in product standards. However, the NSF Joint Committee on Wastewater Technology has historically believed strongly that all certifiers of NSF/ANSI 41 systems should have certification program policies that co

24、ntain several key elements, including requirements for warranties. It is the Joint Committees belief that these key elements provide valuable assurance of long-term performance as well as protection of public health and the environment. To emphasize the Joint Committees convictions on this issue, tw

25、o annexes, which are not part of this Standard, are included for informational purposes and guidance. These annexes are intended to establish a uniform program by which products meeting the scope of this Standard should be certified. Annex A provides the key elements of a certification program, and

26、annex B is a sample warranty. At NSF, both annexes have been adopted as NSF/ANSI 41 certification program policies. Suggestions for improvement of this Standard are welcome. This Standard is maintained on a Continuous Maintenance schedule and can be opened for comment at any time. Comments should be

27、 sent to Chair, Joint Committee on Wastewater Technology at standardsnsf.org or c/o NSF International, Standards Department, PO Box 130140, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48113-0140, USA. 2 The information contained in this Foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processe

29、NSF NSF/ANSI 41 2016 NSF/ANSI Standard for Wastewater Technology Non-liquid saturated treatment systems 1 General 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Standard is to establish minimum materials, design and construction, and performance requirements for non-liquid saturated treatment systems. It is intend

30、ed to protect public health and the environment as well as minimize nuisance factors. This Standard also specifies the minimum literature that manufacturers shall supply to authorized representatives and owners. 1.2 Scope This Standard contains minimum requirements for treatment systems that do not

31、utilize a liquid saturated media as a primary means of storing or treating human excreta or human excreta mixed with other organic household materials. It addresses treatment systems that treat both solid and liquid waste, as well as those that only treat solid waste. Management methods for the end

32、products of these systems are not addressed by this Standard. System components covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI standards or criteria shall also comply with the requirements contained in those other standards. This Standard shall in no way restrict new system designs, provided such designs meet

33、the minimum specifications described herein. 1.3 Systems classification For the purpose of this Standard, systems are classified according to the use environment for which they are intended to be installed. The systems classifications identified in this Standard are residential systems, day-use park

34、 systems, and cottage systems. Performance testing and evaluation requirements for each of these systems classifications are described herein. 2 Normative references The following documents contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Standard. At the time o

35、f publication, the indicated editions were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the recent editions of the standards indicated below. American Public Health Association (APHA), American Water Works Association (AWWA) NOTE

36、 Periodic cleaning or replacement of components refers to those procedures which are specified by the manufacturer as necessary within two years of system installation. b) visual inspection and sampling as required by the manufacturer in the operation and maintenance manual; and c) removal (manually

37、 or by pumping) of collected residuals and end products as required by the manufacturer in the operation and maintenance manual. 5.8 Failure sensing and signaling equipment 5.8.1 Systems rated for day-use and residential systems rated to continuously serve 10 or more people shall possess a mechanism

38、 or process capable of detecting failures of electrical and mechanical components critical to the treatment processes and delivering a discernable visible and audible signal to notify the owner of the failure. These same systems shall also possess a mechanism or process capable of detecting a high w

39、ater condition and delivering a visible and audible signal to notify the owner that the water level is above normal operating specifications. 5.8.2 The visual and auditory signals shall continue to be functional in the event of an electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic malfunction of the system. 2016

40、NSF NSF/ANSI 41 - 2016 6 5.9 Flow design Systems shall have a designated flow-path that is reflective of the entire treatment process. During periods of normal system operation, as well as periods of system and component malfunction, the design and construction of the system shall preclude alternati

41、ve flow-paths and prevent the discharge of liquids and solids from an opening external to the designated flow-path. 5.10 Data plate and service label 5.10.1 A permanent and legible data plate shall be placed on all systems at a location accessed during maintenance cycles and inspections. A second da

42、ta plate shall be affixed to the front of the electrical control box, if applicable. The data plates shall include: a) manufacturers name, address, and telephone number; b) model number; c) serial number (required on one data plate only); d) rated capacity of the system; e) the system classification

43、(s) as determined with the performance testing and evaluation requirements described herein; and f) a statement that refers to the product literature for all maintenance and service requirements. An additional data plate, or label, or sticker shall be prominently displayed for the user of the system

44、. It shall include: a) a detailed description of the type, volume, and frequency that bulking agents and other additives are to be added to the system; b) a detailed description of the types of food (in terms of vegetable matter, oil and grease, and meat/animal material) the system is capable of han

45、dling (provided the system is designed to handle food wastes); and c) a brief description of common items that should and should not be added to the system. 5.10.2 A clearly visible label or plate that provides instructions for obtaining service shall be permanently located near the failure signal,

46、if applicable (see 5.8.1). The label or plate shall contain at a minimum the manufacturers name, address, and telephone number. 5.11 Pest control Devices shall be fabricated to prevent entry of insects into any component in which biological activity is intended to occur, when installed and operated

47、according to the manufacturers instructions. Entry points where wastes are intended to be deposited under normal usage shall be exempt from this requirement. 2016 NSF NSF/ANSI 41 - 2016 7 6 Product literature 6.1 Owners manual Each system shall be accompanied by a manufacturer-prepared owners manual

48、. The manufacturer or authorized representative shall provide the manual to the owner at the time of system installation. The manual shall be written so as to be easily understood by the intended reader and shall include, at a minimum: a) the systems model designation; b) a statement designating the

49、 classifications of the system as well as a statement confirming that the system meets the requirements of NSF/ANSI 41 corresponding to the designated classification(s); c) a functional description of system operation, including diagrams illustrating basic system design; d) a clear statement of examples of the types of materials that can be effectively placed in the system; e) a list of household substances that, if placed in the system, may adversely affect the system, the process, or the environment; f) comprehensive, site-specific operating instructions
