Possible NZ inclusion in an Australian Passive Grease Trap Standard
Water New Zealand is keen to hear from members if there is an appetite to join Australia in creating a joint AS/NZS standard.
Previous joint standards have had a joining fee of approximately $25k plus NZ participant expenses which have been funded by the industry.
This new standard will provide manufacturing and testing requirements for a Passive Grease Traps which are intended to be used above ground.
The following items are proposed for inclusion:
1. Servicing access requirements
The amount of space to be retained around and above grease traps to allow vehicle and people to access them and perform servicing functions
2. Trafficable and non-trafficable lids
Size, type and strength of lids requirements
3. Performance criteria and testing
4. Structural Integrity
There is a need to ensure the structural integrity of all passive grease traps, in-ground and above ground, in all foreseeable conditions.
