TG036 Commissioning New Potable Cold & Hot Water Services in Healthcare Facilities

Guidance
This technical guide (guide) sets out the Department of Housing and Works' requirements for ensuring that new potable water systems are appropriately sanitised and ready for use at the Handover stage on healthcare projects.
Last updated:

While this guide is specific to healthcare projects, the requirements detailed in the Australian Standard for Plumbing and Drainage, AS/NZS 3500.1:2021 and the DMIRS Plumbing Licensing Board’s - Technical Note on Disinfection of Storage Tanks and Water Services (July 2019), are applicable to all projects. This guide follows these requirements, and includes additional obligations for Housing and Works projects, which incorporate new, or additions to, potable cold and hot water systems. Where potable hot water systems are referenced, this is also applicable to potable warm water systems.
