15、uring normal operation and requirements for maintenance and repair to prevent and repair failures of water conditioning devices inside buildings for the treatment of drinking water. This European Standard concerns devices which are permanently connected to the water distribution system in a building
16、 at the point of entry (downstream from the delivery point of the mains supply) and/or at the point of use. NOTE Influence of the water quality on the distribution system downstream of the device is not covered by this European Standard but is covered by documentation for specific devices. 2 Normati

30、 4.1 Device selection and sizing Selection of a device that is appropriate to the performance and operational expectations, and to the intended installation site of the purchaser, is essential. Prior to purchase, information that is available in brochure form, specification sheets or that is clearly
31、 marked on the external product packaging, shall be available with the equipment, outlining the key installation and operation requirements. It shall specify limitations on the location for installation in terms of dimensional requirements and environment (e.g. temperature). It shall identify freque
32、ncy of periodic operation and maintenance and the associated accessibility required. It shall also specify the water supply requirements (pressure limitations, pipe sizes) and proximity requirements for other services which may be necessary such as availability of electric power, drainage facilities
33、 etc. 4.2 Device supply All necessary information for installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance (stressing the importance of maintenance) shall be provided with the equipment so that it can be confirmed that the equipment is appropriate for the application, location, resources available
34、, consumable requirements etc. Maintenance and repair are presumed to be specialist activities and their availability shall be part of the product documentation. As far as the repair is concerned, it shall be specified, whether the product requires disposal in case of failure/exhaustion (including i
35、nstruction for disposal) or whether it can be restored almost to the original performance, if properly repaired. All the documentation (e.g. label, logbook, instruction manual) provided with the device shall be presented in the official language(s) of the country in which the device is purchased. Wh
36、ere the device is purchased to include the service of installation and commissioning, this shall be clearly stated in the supply contract and the activities shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of this European Standard. EN 15161:2006 (E) 7 5 Installation requirements 5.1 General P
37、roper installation of a device is a prerequisite not only for achieving the expected results but also for realising them continuously and safely. Installation of devices shall be performed in accordance with national or local provisions. If the device, as delivered, does not include the parts or anc
38、illaries necessary to meet the relevant requirements and regulations, they shall be included in accordance with the equipment instructions during installation. 5.2 Place of installation The water conditioning system shall be installed only in a suitable place (e.g. clean, well ventilated, adequately
39、 illuminated and protected against pests and frost) within the domestic water distribution system. It shall be remote or insulated from sources of heat (e.g. washing machines, dishwashers, boilers, cookers and hot water pipe work). Location shall take into consideration location of the existing dist
40、ribution system as well as accessibility of other services (e.g. floor drainage may be essential under some circumstances). Accessibility for operation and maintenance is, however, of high importance. For cleaning purposes, drinking water shall be available. The drainage shall be suitably designed f
41、or collecting and discharging wastewater, where necessary. 5.3 Hydraulic connection Connection to the piping of the domestic water distribution system shall comply with the following main requirements: suitable backflow prevention shall be fitted where appropriate which complies with the national im
42、plementation of EN 1717; device and the related fittings which require regular inspection for operation maintenance and repair purposes (e.g. water meters, check valves, anti-vacuum valves, air gaps, pressure gauges, stop valves, ancillaries), shall be easily accessible and should be kept unobstruct
43、ed (e.g. by stored goods, furniture); connections shall be made in accordance with the equipment instructions; NOTE To accommodate foreseeable (e.g. maintenance) or unforeseeable (e.g. failure) events, it is recommended, particularly for point of entry devices, that the installation can supply untre
44、ated drinking water downstream of the device (e.g. with bypass or isolation valves). sampling taps shall be kept at relevant points for checking the device performance, where applicable. 5.4 Commissioning Detailed instructions on the commissioning steps shall be provided with the equipment. Commissi
45、oning is performed by a competent person and shall include any necessary operation (e.g. washing, regeneration, conditioning) and will replicate or mimic all the functional steps that occur during operation. Appropriate checks shall be carried out to ensure that the equipment has been installed so t
46、hat it is performing, and will continue to perform. The collected data on the commissioning shall be recorded in the device logbook, if appropriate. EN 15161:2006 (E) 8 During commissioning the device keeper should be trained to operate and monitor the device properly. Documentation provided with th
47、e equipment should also be handed over. 5.5 Device logbook All data collected during commissioning and normal operation, maintenance and repair operations shall, be recorded in the logbook that accompanies each device. 6 Operation requirements Operation of the water conditioning devices includes nor
48、mal and day-to-day use of the water conditioning device as well as the actions necessary for keeping them in good operating condition (e.g. supply of salt for the softeners, chemicals for dosing systems). It also includes the actions needed for dealing with foreseeable situations (e.g. prolonged non
49、-use during vacation, climate variations) and tests for checking performance, if applicable. By following the operation instructions, it shall also be possible to readily detect device malfunction (common troubleshooting) and any requirement for maintenance and/or repair. Systems and devices shall be properly operated to ensure their reliable function and compliance with applicable regulations. 7 Maintenance requirements 7.1 General Maintenance consists of routine and periodic actions at least once per year, that are needed to prevent malfunction, failures,
