  1. Indo US Dialog onWater Equipment & Chemicals Standards Rajesh Sharma, Chairman, CII Water Equipment Division, MASCON 1st Digital Video Conference June 9, 2009 Washington New Delhi Mumbai

  2. All processes, equipments and systems will have to collectively meet water quality standards through a combination of deploying different equipments, chemicals and processes. 1.0 Why Water Equipment needs Standards? Therefore, all standards would need to be compiled and made available to all stakeholders

  3. 2.0 Illustrative List- Water Treatment Components - • R.O Membranes/UF Membranes (various sizes) • Ion Exchange Resins • Booster Pumps (various sizes) • Pressure Vessels • Connectors/Valves • Tubing / Gaskets • UV Lamps • Water Treatment Chemicals • Filter Housings • Activated Carbon / Carbon Block • All other water treatment media

  4. 2.1 Possible Categories of Water Equipment • Potable Water • Small and Domestic Purifiers • Point of Use and Point of Entry Water Purifiers • Commercial Water Plants • Others

  5. 2.2 Standards required for., • Materials safety • No contaminants to be produced by any product • Components used should not leach any toxic substances / contamination. • Structural integrity should be able to withstand pressure rating. • Product information – accurate information to consumer • Treated water quality testing procedure • Testing for guaranteed parameters

  8. 3.1 Some Indicative Trade DataWater Equipment (3) Source: DGFT

  9. 3.2 Type of Data 1 - Exports/Imports Regulations- • Exports from India to USA • Feedback from Exporters • Currently applicable administrative, technical and legal frameworks • Imports from USA to India • Indian regulations • Mandatory certification if any for Customs /Excise clearance We need at least a month to collate this data

  10. 3.3 Type of Data 2 - Existing Standards in India - IS 3025 12006 Part 1 : 62 Method of sampling and test (Physical and Chemical) for water and waste water rev.1 IS 3076: 1985 Specification for Low Density Polyethylene Pipes for Potable Water Supplies IS 4984 :1995 Specification for high Density Polyethylene Pipes for Potable Water Supplies IS 4985:2000 Unplasticized PVC Pipes for Potable Water Supplies – Specification Active IS 8188:1999 Treatment of water for cooling towers=code of practice IS 7634:Part 1 & 2:1975 Code of practice for plastic pipes work for potable water supplies IS 7634:Part 3:2003 Plastic pipe selection, handling, storage & installation for Potable Water Supplies IS 8360:Part 1,2 & 3:1977 Specification for fabricated high density polyethylene (HDPE) fittings for potable water supplies IS 10124:Part 1 to 13:1988 Specification for fabricated PVC fittings for potable water supplies IS 10313:1982 Requirements for settling tanks (clarifier equipment) for water treatment plant IS 10446:1983 Glossary of terms relating to water supply and sanitation terminology. IS 12709:1994 Specification for glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes, joints and fittings for use for potable water supply active.

  11. 3.4 Type of Data 3 -Standards for Conformance- • BIS/CII initiative to form a Committee for • Identification of Standards • Action plan for comprehensive standards • Type of approval and certification process • Requirements/capabilities of Indian laboratories for testing • Involvement/responsibilities of standards for development/ certifying organizations • Methods to control non-standard equipments/ components

  12. 4.0 Discussion Points • Understanding the existing standards in India and USA • Gaps in Standards • Finalize total data requirement from both sides • Next Steps
