PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee WS/14, National Plumbing and Drainage Code and is the result of a consensus
among representatives on the Joint Committee to produce it as an Australian Standard.
New Zealand performance requirements are established in New Zealand Building
Regulations and are generally equivalent to those in this Standard.
This Standard sets out objectives in Clause 5.
Reference to AS/NZS 3500.4.2, National Plumbing and Drainage, Part 4.2: Hot water
supply systems— Acceptable solutions sets out a means of achieving minimum deemed-to-
satisfy requirements for the objectives and performance requirements of this Standard.
It is recognized that the content of this Part would usually be the responsibility of a
regulatory body. Nevertheless, owing to the reforms taking place in the industry at

present, no national body has yet been identified to take up such responsibilities.
Therefore, for the purpose of this edition the document is published as part of the
AS 3500 series. If in the future a national regulatory administration is identified, the
Standard will be modified accordingly.
The performance requirements of this Standard have been published without a ‘durability’
clause. This course of action was found necessary owing to a division existing within the
committee members responsible for the document. It is possible that in the future such
durability requirements could become part of this document by means of an amendment or
a full revision.
