Drinking water, wastewater and stormwater systems and services - Management of on-site domestic wastewater services

This document provides guidance and requirements for the management of on-site domestic wastewater systems and services, using appropriate technologies in their entirety at any level of development.

This document supplements and is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 24511 and ISO 24525. It includes guidance and requirements for the following:

?     management of on-site domestic wastewater systems (ODWS) from the perspective of owners and users;

In this document the term ?services? includes ?self-services? provided by the owners of the premises.

The following are outside the scope of this document:

?     limits of effluent quality for wastewater discharged into the environment;
