Non-sewered sanitation systems — Prefabricated integrated treatment units — General safety and performance requirements for design and testing

Abstract

This document specifies general safety and performance requirements for design and testing as well as sustainability considerations for non-sewered sanitation systems (NSSS). A NSSS, for the purposes
of this document, is a prefabricated integrated treatment unit, comprising frontend (toilet facility) and
backend (treatment facility) components that
a) collects, conveys, and fully treats the specific input within the system, to allow for safe reuse or
disposal of the generated solid, liquid, and gaseous output, and
b) is not connected to a networked sewer or networked drainage systems.
This document is applicable to sanitation systems that are either manufactured as one package, or
manufactured as a set of prefabricated elements designed to be assembled in one location without
further fabrication or modification that influences the system function. The plane or surface (e.g.
flooring, concrete pad) upon which a fully assembled NSSS is situated is beyond the scope of this
document. This document is not applicable to sanitation systems constructed in situ.
This document also covers NSSS backend components that are designed to be integrated with one or
more specified frontends.
Although this document is primarily applicable to the development of sanitation systems that are not
connected to water and electricity networks, it can also be applied to systems that can utilize water
mains and/or electricity.
This document defines the basic treatable input as primarily human excreta and gives options for
extending the range of input substances. Requirements for the quality of the outputs from the sanitation
system are given for solid and liquid discharges as well as odour, air, and noise emissions.
It contains criteria for the safety, functionality, usability, reliability, and maintainability of the system,
as well as its compatibility with environmental protection goals.
