25、d is not a part of ANSI*/AWWA C510. I. Introduction. I.A. Background. The production and preservation of safe potable water are the objectives of greatest priority for public water utilities and other agencies having jurisdiction. When safe water has been produced and put into the public distributio

26、n system, precautions must be taken to be certain that it is not contaminated with water or liquids from other sources. Most water-using premises may have actual or potential cross-connection hazards. The water distribution systems of some premises served by public water systems, such as hotels, hos

27、pitals, and industrial plants, can be quite complex. On these premises, contaminated backflow into the public system can be a result of backpressure or back- siphonage from appliances and equipment or from cross-connection with other supply sources. Cross-connection control programs usually require

28、that backflow prevention assemblies be installed at the water service connections to premises where potentially hazardous conditions exist. Water users (utility customers) have a clearly implied responsibility to protect the safety of water in the public supply system. Water users must also protect

29、the integrity of the water supply on their own premises. Protection of a buildings piping system must be done in accordance with the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction. Cross-connections vary widely in degree of hazard. Generally, the degree of protec- tion against backflow resu

30、lting from a cross-connection should be commensurate with the degree of hazard. Two types of backflow prevention assemblies are commonly used: the double check-valve assembly and the reduced-pressure principle assembly. If local regulations or ordinances do not specify the type to use or the conditi

31、ons under which one or the other may be used, recommendations may be found in AWWA Manual M14, Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control: Recommended Practices. I.B. History. The Conference of State Sanitary Engineers (CSSE) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) appointed the Joint

32、Committee on Backflow Preventers and Cross-Connection Control in September 1959 to carry out the recommendations of an earlier joint committee.

The first work of the committee resulted in the first edition of AWWA Manual M14, which was published in the April 1966 edition of Journal AWWA. After publi

34、cation of AWWA Manual M14, the committee produced a standard that received final approval from the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 27, 1969, and was designated as AWWA C506-69, Backflow Prevention DevicesReduced Pressure Prin- ciple and Double Check Valve Types. Revision of ANSI/AWWA C506 was approv

35、ed in 1978. The 1978 edition was subsequently reaffirmed without revision in 1983. In 1989, ANSI/AWWA C506-78 was separated into two standards: ANSI/ AWWA C510 covers the double check-valve backflow prevention assembly, and ANSI/AWWA C511 covers the reduced-pressure principle backflow prevention ass

36、embly. The second revision to ANSI/AWWA C510 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on June 15, 1997. The third edition was approved June 24, 2007. This edition was approved on Jan. 14, 2017. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative

37、 agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Con

38、ference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with ind

39、ividual states.* Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including 1. Specific policies of the st

40、ate or local agency. 2. Two standards developed under the direction of NSF: NSF /ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects. * Persons outside the United States should contact the appropriate authority having jurisdictio

42、x, Water Chemicals Codex,* and other standards considered appropriate by the state or local agency. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states or local agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification orga

43、nizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 61 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by

44、a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifie

45、r. ANSI/AWWA C510 does not address additives requirements. Thus, users of this standard should consult the appropriate state or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements including applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offeri

46、ng to certify products for contact with, or treatment of, drinking water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. In an alternative approach to inadvertent drinking water additives, some jurisdic- tions are calling for reduced lead limits for materials in contact with potable wate

47、r. Various third-party certifiers have been assessing products against these lead content criteria, and a new ANSI-approved national standard, NSF/ANSI 372, Drinking Water System ComponentsLead Content, was published in 2010. On Jan. 4, 2011, legislation was signed revising the definition for “lead

48、free” with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as it pertains to “pipe, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fix- tures.” The changes went into effect Jan. 4, 2014. In brief, the new provisions to the SDWA require that these products meet a weighted average lead content of not more than 0.25 percent
