5、eword shall not be considered a part of the standard. However, it is offered to provide background information.ASSE Product Standards are developed in the interest of consumer safety.The recognition of probable sources or causes of contamination of a potable water supply system and the application o

6、f essential devices, or means, to prevent the entrance of contaminants to the potable water system, causing it to become unfit for human consumption, is vital to the maintenance of its continued potability.There are two basic and practiced methods for the protection of potable water supplies:a) Prot

7、ection by ContainmentThe isolation, by suitable devices or means, of the system within the premises supplied, wherein may lie the source or sources of contamination, from the vendors or public water supply system.b) Protection of Each Individual OutletThe protection of each individual outlet by suit

8、able devices or means, which within the premises served may be a source of contamination.Protection by containment protects the vendors or public water supply only. It does not provide protection within the premises supplied.In modern plumbing systems, there are many situations where backflow could

9、occur due to backpressure conditions. In some, the pollutants that would get into the water supply would be undesirable, yet not be a hazard to the health of persons consuming the water.This standard covers two (2) types of devices, which are identified as Double Check Backflow Prevention Assemblies

10、 (DC) and Double Check Fire Protection Backflow Prevention Assemblies (DCF). The DC and the DCF are identical in their backflow protection. The DCF, which was added to this standard in 1999, has specific performance requirements relating to their use on fire protection systems.The devices described

11、are suitable for either protection by containment or protection of individual outlets where pollutants, which could be caused to enter the potable water, are low hazard.These devices are suitable for either hot or cold water service under continuous or intermittent pressure conditions.iv Double Chec

13、sdictional requirements.The working group, which developed this standard revision, was set up within the framework of the Product Standards Committee of ASSE International.Recognition is made of the time volunteered by members of this working group and of the support of the manufacturers who partici

14、pated in meetings for this standard.This standard does not imply ASSEs endorsement of a product which conforms to these requirements.Compliance with this standard does not imply acceptance by any code body.It is recommended that these devices be installed consistent with local codes by qualified and

15、 trained professionals.This standard was promulgated in accordance with procedures developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).This edition was approved by the ASSE Board of Directors on August 9, 2011 as an ASSE standard.Double Check Backflow Prevention Assemblies and v Double Che
