Electric appliances connected to the water mains - Avoidance of backsiphonage and failure of hose-sets

The standard specifies requirements for appliances for household and similar purposes to prevent the backflow of non-potable water into the water mains. It also specifies requirements for hose sets used for connecting such appliances to the water mains that supply water at a pressure not exceeding 1 MPa.
