1、Designation: D 4472 89 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Guide forRecordkeeping for Reverse Osmosis Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4472; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers procedures for well-defined record-keeping of reverse osmosis (RO) systems.1.2 This guide includes a start-up
3、report, recordkeeping ofRO operating data, recordkeeping of pretreatment operatingdata, and a maintenance log.1.3 This guide is applicable to waters including brackishwaters and seawaters but is not necessarily applicable towastewaters.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety c
4、oncerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
