31、d-wall, resilient-seated gate valves with nonrising stems (NRS) and outside screw-and-yoke (OS&Y) rising stems, including tapping gate valves, for water supply service. The standard applies to water supply service having a pH range of 6.5 to 8.5 and a temperature from 33 to 125F (0.6 to 52C). I.B. H
32、istory. The first edition of ANSI/AWWA C509, Resilient-Seated Gate Valves, was published in 1980. ANSI/AWWA C509 includes body and bonnet parts of either gray or ductile cast iron with shell-wall thicknesses equal to those of the ANSI/ AWWA C500, Metal-Seated Gate Valves, which was first issued in 1
33、952 as ANSI/ AWWA C500 but had its roots going back to the first AWWA standard for gate valves adopted June 24, 1913. In 1993, the AWWA Standards Committee on Gate Valves and Swing Check Valves received authorization from the AWWA Standards Council to prepare a stan- dard covering reduced-wall, resi
34、lient-seated gate valves. Just as other recent AWWA standards have been developed as a result of the attendant strength of ductile iron (for pressure pipe and compact fittings), this standard results from its application for gate valves. The Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valves and Fi
35、ttings Industry (MSS) has played an important role in developing this standard. Founded in 1924, MSS has had official organizational representation on AWWA standards committees dealing with valve and hydrant products since 1930. ANSI/AWWA C515-09 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 2
36、5, 2009. This edition was approved on June 7, 2015. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for
37、direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) * American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036.

39、ng Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states.* Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health ef
40、fects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including 1. An advisory program formerly administered by USEPA, Office of Drinking Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990. 2. Specific policies of the state or local agency. 3. Two s
41、tandards developed under the direction of NSF: NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects. 4. Other references, including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codex, and other standards considered ap
42、propriate 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 organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certi
43、- 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 a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of a
44、n 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 certifier. ANSI/AWWA C515 does not address additives requirements. U
45、sers of this stan- dard 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 offering to certify products for contact with, or treatment of, drink
46、ing water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. * Persons outside the United States should contact the appropriate authority having jurisdiction.

All Rights Reserved. ix In an alternative approach to inadvertent drinking water additives, some jurisdictions (including California, Maryland, Vermont, and Louisiana at the time of this writing) are calling for reduced lead limits for materials in contact with potable wa
48、ter. 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 Com- ponentsLead Content, was published in 2010. On Jan. 4, 2011, legislation was signed revising the definition for “l
49、ead free” within the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as it pertains to “pipe, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures.” The changes went into effect on Jan. 4, 2014. In brief, the new provisions to the SDWA require that these prod- ucts meet a weighted average lead content of not more than 0.25 percent. II. Special Issues. II.A.
