Electric appliances connected to the water mains - Avoidance of backsiphonage and failure of hose-sets

IEC 61770:2008 provides requirements for appliances for household and similar purposes to prevent the backsiphonage of non-potable water into the water mains. It also specifies requirements for hose-sets used for connecting such appliances to the water mains that supply water at a pressure not exceeding 1 MPa. The major changes in this edition as compared with the first edition are as follows: normative references are updated; some notes have been converted to normative text (3.10, 5.2, 6.3, 7.2 and Annex A); the type of petroleum spirit has been specified (9.3).

Electric appliances connected to the water mains - Avoidance of backsiphonage and failure of hose-sets

Specifies requirements for the connection of appliances to the water mains to prevent backsiphonage of non-potable water into the water mains and flooding due to failure of hose-sets. Appliances include washing machines, dishwashers and other appliances. This includes domestic appliances and those in shops and communal flats. The water pressure is not to exceed 1 MPa. Connection may be temporary or permanent.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

  • mandatory clauses to satisfy,
  • non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
