AS/NZS 1546.2:2008 On-site domestic wastewater treatment units, Part 2: Waterless composting toilets
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Supersedes: AS/NZS 1546.2:2001 On-site domestic wastewater treatment units - Waterless composting toilets
Draft Designation: DR 06928This Standard is one of a series revised by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee WS-013 on On-site Domestic Wastewater Management. It supersedes AS/NZS 1546.2:2001 On-site domestic wastewater treatment units Part 2: Waterless composting toilets.
There are four objectives in AS/NZS 1546.2. The first is to provide a set of performance statements which set out the requirements for a domestic waterless composting toilet. The second is to provide performance evaluation tests as a base against which any conventional or innovative domestic waterless composting toilet may be assessed. The third is to provide manufacturers of waterless composting toilets with basic test requirements that will confirm the conditions under which such toilets will function satisfactorily. This will enable certification bodies to verify that a product conforms to the Standard. The fourth objective is to ensure a waterless composting toilet is operated and maintained in a safe manner that meets basic health requirements for the removal of composted or partially composted material.
The revised Standard has no significant design recommendations. The changes are confined to layout changes and clarification of intent.
