For Germanyāthisāinformationāleaīetādeīænesāunderā"3.1āGeneral"āforātheānationalā
regulations: "Due to the compressibility of gases, the rules for the prevention of
accidents "Working on Gas Systems" and the "Technical Rules for Gas Installations
DVGW-TRGI" must be observed for physical and safety reasons when conducting
pressure tests with air Therefore,ātheātestāpressuresāhaveābeenādeīænedāasāmaximumā
0.3 MPa (3 bar), the same as for load and leak tests for gas pipes, in agreement
with the responsible industrial liability insurance association and based on these
rules. The national regulationsāareātherebyāfulīælled.ā
With regard to the test methods A, B and C offered in section 6.1 of EN 806-4:2010
forāpressureātestingāwithāwater,āinformationāleaīetā"Leak tests of drinking water
installations with compressed air, inert gas or water" (January 2011) T 82-2011 of
the German Central Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK),
deīænesātheāfollowingāforāGermany: "For reasons of practicability on the building site,
aāmodiīæedāmethodābasedāonāpracticalātestsāwhichācanābeāusedāforāallāmaterialsāandā
combinations of materials was chosen. The test time has been extended in relation
toātheātimeāspeciīæedāinātheāstandardātoāallowāevenātheāslightestāleaksātoābeādetected.ā
Test method B in accordance with DIN EN 806-4 is the basis for conducting the leak
test with water for all materials."
Theāfollowingāisādeīæned:
Leak test with inert gases (e.g. nitrogen)
"In buildings with enhanced hygiene requirements such as medical facilities, hospi
-
tals, doctors' practices, the use of inert gases may be required to rule out conden-
sation of the moisture in the pipe."
Leak testing with compressed air is to be conducted when
ā
a longer standstill time between the leak test and commissioning, especially at
average ambient temperatures > 25°C, is to be expected to rule out possible
bacterial growth,
ā
the pipe system cannot remain completely full from the leak test to commissioning,
e.g. during a frost period,
ā
the corrosion resistance of a material in a partially drained line is endangered
Leak testing with water can be conducted when
ā
changing of the water can be ensured at regular intervals, after seven days at
the latest, from the time of the leak test to commissioning of the drinking water
installation. Additionally when

For Germany, further instructions for the "Cleaning and Disinfection of Drinking Water
Installations" can be taken from the Technical Rule - Worksheet DVGW W 557 (A)
October 2012 of the German Association of the Gas and Water Trade (DVGW).

ination of the nature of the drinking water. It may be necessary to disinfect the
installation additionally after cleaning."
Sectionā6.3ā"Cleaningāmethods"ādescribesātheāīushingāmethodsā"īushingāwithāwater"ā
andā"īushingāwithāanāaāwater/airāmixture"āwhichāareābasicallyāfamiliarāfromāENā806-4.ā
Contaminations can enter the pipe system during new installation and repair work;
there may even be a danger of microbial contamination. Section 6.3.2.2 "Flushing
with a water/airāmixture"āexplains:ā"Toāremoveāencrustations,ādepositsāorābio-īælmsā

withāīushingāwithāwater."ā
Section 7 "Disinfection" describes the thermal and especially the chemical installa
-
tion disinfection as a discontinuous measure for the decontamination of a drinking
water installation in detail. "Installation disinfection must only be carried out by
specialist companies." Section 7.4.2 lists 3 "proven disinfection chemicals", hydrogen
peroxide H
2
O
2
, sodium hypochlorite NaOCl and chlorine dioxide ClO
2
, their respec-
tive application concentration and exposure time. For example, the application
concentration for hydrogen peroxide is 150 mg H
2
O
2
/l and the exposure time 24
hours. Appendix A contains further information about these disinfection chemicals,
e.g. about application and work safety. Appendix B contains statements on the
material resistance to the recommended disinfection chemicals.
