What is BS EN 12566-7– Small wastewater treatment systems for up to 50 PT about?
BS EN 12566-7 specifies requirements, test methods, the marking and evaluation of
conformity for a packaged and/or site assembled tertiary treatment unit (see Figure 1).
BS EN 12566-7 applies for tertiary treatment units that are placed on the market as complete units used for the tertiary treatment of domestic wastewater by biological, physical, chemical, electrical processes.
BS EN 12566-7 applies to tertiary treatment units for use above ground (outside the building) or buried in the ground where no vehicle loads are applied to the unit. This standard does not apply to tertiary treatment systems forming part of units covered by EN 12566-3 and EN 12566-7.
BS EN 12566-7 does not cover the systems for microorganism reduction.
