Overview

EN ISO 15749-1:2004 - Ships and marine technology: Drainage systems on ships and marine structures - Part 1: Sanitary drainage-system design (ISO 15749-1:2004) - provides planning and design principles for sanitary drainage on ships and marine structures. Used together with Parts 2–4, it covers gravity and vacuum drain piping, sewage disposal pipes and interfaces to treatment systems. The series supports compliance with hygienic requirements and marine-environment protection and explicitly excludes piping that carries oily or chemically contaminated wastewater capable of forming flammable gas/oxygen mixtures.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and classification of wastewater: Defines wastewater, grey water and sewage and classifies drain sources (see the standard’s Table 1 for origin-based classifications).
• Design planning: Guidance on system planning to achieve high availability, limiting the number of sanitary units per line and following maximum branch rules (refer to ISO 15749-3 for vacuum-system limits).
• Minimum design flows: Recommended minimum wastewater per person/day (examples from the standard):
  • Passenger ships - without vacuum: sewage 70 L, black+grey 230 L; with vacuum: sewage 25 L, black+grey 185 L.
  • Other sea-going ships - without vacuum: sewage 70 L, black+grey 180 L; with vacuum: sewage 25 L, black+grey 135 L.
• System structure and components: Layout and definitions for drain lines, connecting/branch lines, manifolds, gravity delivery lines, riser branches, collector tanks, intermediate and holding tanks, sludge storage and sewage treatment plants.
• Hygienic & environmental controls: Noise and odour reduction, ventilation, and prevention of environmental contamination consistent with MARPOL/IMO guidance.
• Operational aspects: Testing, commissioning, maintenance, availability targets, and graphical symbols/simplified representations for drawings.

Practical applications

EN ISO 15749-1:2004 is applied when designing and specifying sanitary drainage for:

• Accommodation and commissary areas on passenger and merchant ships
• Marine platforms and other fixed marine structures
• Interface design for onboard sewage treatment plants, collector tanks and sewage disposal pipes The standard informs pipe sizing, system layout (gravity vs vacuum), ventilation design, testing protocols and documentation for approval and classification.

Who uses this standard

• Naval architects and marine engineers
• Shipbuilders and shipyards (plumbing and piping teams)
• Marine HVAC / sanitary system designers and contractors
• Classification societies, flag-state surveyors and regulatory authorities
• Manufacturers of onboard sewage treatment plants and plumbing components
• Ship operators and technical managers ensuring compliance with hygiene and environmental rules

Related standards and references

• ISO 15749 series: Parts 2–5 (drain piping for gravity/vacuum systems, sewage disposal pipes, deck/cargo/pool drainage)
• IMO MARPOL Annex IV and related MEPC/MSC guidance (sewage discharge and treatment requirements)
• ISO 4067 (graphical symbols), ISO 10628 (flow diagrams) and other referenced ISO/IMO documents

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15749-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, Subcommittee
SC 3, Piping and machinery.

ISO 15749.
To get a high availability of the plant, the amount of sanitary facilities drained over one line should be limited.
The maximum number of branches for each line as given in ISO 15749-3 shall not be exceeded.
4.2 Classification
Classification of wastewater according to origin is given in Table 1.

ISO 15749-1:2004(E)
4.3 Amount of wastewater
When designing the plants, the minimum amount of wastewater in accordance with Table 2 has to be
considered.

Ships used near the coast can remain under these values on consultation with the responsible authorities.
NOTE The values are recommended. Deviations due to national rules or to classification-society recommendations are to be
considered
4.4 Properties of wastewater
Drainage systems shall serve exclusively to discharge wastewater as given in 3.1.
If necessary, measures shall be taken to prevent the discharge of other substances as given in 3.1 via the
drainage systems. Grinders for other kinds of waste shall not be connected to the wastewater lines.
5 Hygienic and environmental requirements
5.1 Reduction of noise and odour
5.1.1 Noise
The plant shall be designed and built in such way that it produces as little noise as possible and that the
transmission of noises does not occur. If necessary, this shall be ensured by measures of acoustic insulation
so that permissible sound level limits in rooms are not exceeded.
5.1.2 Odour
The plant shall be designed and built in such a way that there will be no annoyance caused by odour.
Necessary ventilation shall be installed in such a way that there will be no annoyance caused by odour.
5.2 Hygienic considerations
5.2.1 Separate line routing
For hygienic reasons, sewage and grey water shall be conveyed separately. Each type of wastewater requires
its own system of drain lines.
5.2.2 Discharge into collector tanks
Where wastewater is discharged into collector tanks, the drain lines for sewage and grey water may merge
into a common discharge line (main sewer) immediately before reaching the tank.
6 © ISO 2004 – All rights reserved

ISO 15749-1:2004(E)
In sanitary drainage systems with a common collector tank for grey water and sewage, a hydraulic seal should
be provided for the grey water pipe near the tank. In this case, to ensure reliable operation of sanitary
equipment, it is recommended to install a vent pipe.
5.2.3 Discharge into sewage treatment plants
Discharge of wastewater into treatment plants shall meet the requirements laid down by the manufacturer.
It is recommended to place a mixing and equalization tank in front of the wastewater treatment plant to ensure
feeding of the wastewater treatment plant without shock.
6 Structure of a drainage system
6.1 Description
The wastewater is transported from the drains via drain lines.
These lines convey the wastewater to a collector tank or sewage treatment plant.
Bypass lines connected to these drain lines carry the wastewater directly to outlets in the shell in accordance
with ISO 15749-4.
From the collector tank and/or sewage treatment plant, the wastewater is conveyed to a disposal point via
sewage disposal pipes.
NOTE In exceptional cases, after the wastewater has been purified in the sewage treatment plant it is discharged into
holding tanks and stored there before being disposed of overboard or to an external (e.g. shore-based) disposal facility, or
discharged via the ballast water system.
6.2 Main system components
A drainage system may consist of the following components:
 drain lines;
 vent lines, (for drain lines, collector tanks, sewage treatment plants);
 intermediate tank (only if necessary);
 vacuum generation unit (for drain lines in a vacuum system);
 collector tank;
 mixing and equalization tank;
 sludge storage tank;
 pumps for wastewater and sludge overboard disposal or to external disposal facilities (e.g. on shore) or a
sewage treatment plant;
 sewage disposal lines and a holding tank, if applicable.
6.3 Corrosion resistance
Pipes, mouldings, fittings and other system components shall be resistant
