Annex A (informative)
      A.1 - National and local regulations and practice

Applies to waste water drainage systems operating under gravity. Applies to drainage systems inside dwellings and institutional, commercial and industrial buildings. Establishes the general and performance requirements for waste water gravity drainage systems. Makes limited provision for pipework conveying trade effluent and for fluids removed by pumps.
