TECHNICAL COMMUNIQUE
As towns and cities have grown, so have the number of group housing developments
(especially residential complexes), shopping malls (i.e. commercial complexes) and industrial
parks (industrial complexes). Even agriculture has not escaped this tendency, with some
agricultural installations requiring equipment very similar to a small industrial park. As each such
complex requires at least one step-down medium voltage (that is, MV, between 1000 and
22 000 V a.c.) transformer to produce the necessary lower voltage (less than 1000 V) most
electricians are more familiar with, so has the need grown for a new standard that can provide,
in a convenient form, common rules for the safety of specific, fixed, MV installations of up to and
including 3 000 kW installed capacity.
That is what this new standard is all about: and why its contents will be important reading for all
involved in designing, planning and providing the electrical power wiring for such complexes:
especially electrical or mechanical engineers and master electricians (who will need to apply the
standard) and, to a lesser extent architects (who will need to know whether SANS 10142-2
needs to be used in specifications for a design, besides SANS 10142-1). This standard does
not cover MV installations in mines.
Willa Breed, Chair of SABS SC 67F, commented as follows: “As there is a considerable need
for guidelines for medium voltage installations, the publication of this standard has been eagerly
awaited by many in the electricity supply industries”.
Antony Falconer, who chaired the Working Group responsible for the new standard, commented
on it as follows.
Why was the standard written? “For years we have had a South African standard for low
voltages, SANS 10142, but not for higher voltages, which are arguably more dangerous.
How does it differ from SANS 10142-1? “This standard relies quite heavily on an ‘MV
Installation Safety Report’ in which suitably qualified people are required to declare in writing
that the installation has been designed, installed and tested correctly, and that it is safe to
operate and will perform the job for which it was intended. This report gives guidance with
respect to standards to be met, through a checklist referenced to the text. It should be noted
that this standard is not intended to be a ‘cookbook’ on how to design and install MV
installations. The people taking responsibility for the various aspects are expected to know their
fields.
Other points? “It has taken a lot of time and effort by many people over many years to produce
and publish this document. While much care has been taken in the document's preparation,
people must now start using it and judging its effectiveness. The ultimate success of the
standard will rely on users being involved in its maintenance.

TECHNICAL COMMUNIQUE
Today, more and more municipalities and other organizations contract out maintenance and
other services. This is a particularly relevant option to an organization that does not have the
necessary specialised technical knowledge or capacity to maintain their own infrastructure.
A generic document that can provide general guidelines for maintenance and other such
contracts will therefore be of considerable use both to the organizations contracting out the
services (e.g. municipalities) and those who are awarded the contract to provide the services
(e.g. SMMEs and local businesses).
This is why the publication of ARP 078, Guidelines for the preparation of maintenance contracts
is of considerable interest to all involved in providing such services. Johan Viktor, a technical
specialist involved in writing the standard comments on it as follows:
Why was the ARP written? “In short, to provide owners of infrastructure with a guideline for
preparation of a contract for maintenance services. As described in the ARP itself, the purpose
of this recommended practice is to:
• promote cross-border company/maintenance contractor relationships and to produce a
clear interface between the company/employer and the
• maintenance contractor/service provider for maintenance services
• improve the quality of maintenance contracts so that disputes and adjustments are
minimised
• draw attention to the scope of maintenance services and to identify options for their
provision
• give assistance in, and advice on, the drafting and negotiation of maintenance contracts
and in specifying arrangements in the case of disputes
• identify types of maintenance contracts and to make recommendations for the attribution
of rights and obligations between the parties of the contract including risks, and
• simplify comparison between maintenance contracts.
“These guidelines could also help specify the required output of maintenance activities, and is
simply a working tool intended for parties who wish to draw up a maintenance contract. It offers
headings which are not exhaustive and which parties may or may not include, exclude, modify
and adapt to their own contractual relationship.
What is its importance to local businesses, SMMEs, municipalities and local industry?
“This ARP will assist municipalities, whether large or small, to prepare maintenance contracts in
a structured and standardised way, thus creating an enabling environment for promoting
maintenance contracting. SMMEs and local businesses will therefore get accustomed to the
concept and format and be in a position to tender/negotiate these types of service contracts
more easily.
What are the key provisions or sections of the standard? “ARP 078 contains two clauses
that are especially useful in assisting the user, namely, Clause 4 and Clause 5. Clause 4
‘Maintenance activities and stages to the maintenance
contract’ gives a structured overview of possible maintenance services
offered or required. Its purpose is to give advice on activities which
may be required in preparing a contract and prior to signing of agreements and also those
activities which may be required during the period of any contract.
Standards Bulletin

“Clause 5 ‘Structure and content’ provides a standard check list for use when drafting
maintenance contracts together with important elements for content.
Other points: “When using ARP 078 a three-step approach should be followed:
• Step 2: A pre-qualification stage follows any decision to contract out part or all of any
maintenance activity and it is during this period that the company/employer will identify
any contractor/service provider(s) capable of performing the required maintenance tasks,
and
• Step 3: The contract may be prepared using the guidance in this Recommended
Practice and the maintenance contractor/service provider selected either by price
negotiation or by competitive tender”, Viktor concluded.

TECHNICAL COMMUNIQUE
As saving energy becomes an increasingly important national priority, so do standards that can
assist organizations to save energy. That is why the publication of two standards (SANS 879,
Energy management-Specifications and ARP 136, Energy management-Guidance on energy
management) is important news, as they provide general, practical and easily understood
guidance on what has to be done. These two documents are intended to be used together, with
SANS 879 setting out the requirements, and ARP 136 providing general guidance on how to
achieve these requirements.
SANS 879 specifies requirements for an energy management system, to enable an organization
to address its present and future energy consumption systematically. The standard lays down
requirements for continual improvement in the form of a more efficient use of energy,
irrespective of the type of energy involved, and is based on a systems approach that involves
the four basic elements (plan, do, check, act) found in both the environmental management
standard ISO 14001 and quality management standard ISO 9001 applied as international
standards around the world.
It therefore comes as no surprise that the structure of SANS 879 and ARP 136 also resembles
that of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Tony Golding, of the Department of Minerals and Energy,
comments on the standards as follows:
Both SANS 879 and ARP 136 are adoptions of Danish standards. Why
were Danish standards chosen, and not ISO standards? “The Danes are particularly
advanced in both energy management and generating electricity from wind. As ISO has only
recently started to work on a draft energy management standard, these Danish standards are
the best currently available. South Africa is actively participating in the development of
ISO 50001, Energy management system, and will adopt this standard once it has been
published.
Will these standards eventually be referred to in legislation? “Quite possibly, once the
standard and the ‘infrastructure’ to implement it in SA is developed. But this may not be
necessary if it can stand on its own two feet” Golding concluded.

PREVENTING UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC DATA
ISO/IEC JTC 1 Information Technology SC 27 IT Security techniques have recently published
ISO/IEC 19772:2009 Information technology - Security techniques - Authenticated encryption which
defines authenticated encryption mechanisms that provide an optimum level of security.
Commenting on scope of ISO/IEC 19772:2009 the Project Editor, Professor Chris Mitchell, says that with
the “rise of electronic transactions involving sensitive information, such as the transfer of bank data or
personal identity information, this standard responds to a growing need for increasingly demanding
security requirements“.
ISO/IEC 19772:2009 specifies six encryption methods (based on a block cipher algorithm) that can be
used to ensure:
Data confidentiality (protecting against unauthorized disclosure of data)
Data integrity (enabling recipients to verify that the data has not been modified)
Data origin authentication (helping recipients to verify the identity of the data).
ISO/IEC 19772:2009 takes the specific security needs of different operations into account. For instance,
while encryption may be used to prevent eavesdropping when data is being exchanged, Message
Authentication Codes (MACs) or digital signatures are ideal for protecting data from being modified.
Some situations may require a combination of operations, but not all combinations will provide the same
security guarantees.
Chris Mitchell goes on to explain that “it has recently become widely recognised that using encryption on
its own (or even combining encryption and MACs in non-optimal ways) can be dangerously weak, as
shown by recently demonstrated practical attacks on implementations of widely used security protocols
such as IPsec and SSH. There are thus excellent reasons to believe that it is better to rely on a single
comprehensive data protection method”.
The mechanisms specified in ISO/IEC 19772:2009 have been designed to maximize the level of security
and provide efficient processing of data for optimum results. The standard also includes mechanisms
that can be applied to ensure the integrity of data even when not encrypted (for example, to prevent
modifications of e-mail addresses, sequence numbers and so forth).
In conclusion, Chris Mitchell says that “ISO/IEC 19772 will give confidence to users that their data is
safe. Not only will it be useful for protecting information, but also for furthering the development of online
transactions and e-businesses and other applications involving sensitive data“.

HOW INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS SUPPORT AND BENEFIT THE MEDIA
In April 2009 ISO Focus highlighted the relationship between ISO and the media and showcased the
standards that have widely disseminated innovative technological advances in the media industry and
increased its viability. Standards have also facilitated the explosive growth of new communication media,
such as CDs and DVDs. In addition, other standards, such as those for digital file formats and office
printing equipment, have changed the way in which people work.
The articles making up this special feature on "ISO and the Media" in ISO Focus can be accessed at
http://www.iso.org/iso/de/magazines/iso-focus-index/iso-focus__current-issue.htm
Included in the "ISO and the Media" feature are articles on the JPEG and MPEG standards for digital
compression with respective applications to still photography, video CD and MP3, digital TV set top
boxes and DVD. JPEG is widely used, not only by the media, but by millions of members of the public to
send photo files via e-mail, while MPEG has helped generate the multi-million dollar DVD industry. JPEG
and MPEG standards between them have three times been honoured by Emmy Awards bestowed by
the US television industry.
Articles on ISO and joint ISO/IEC standards that serve as key tools for the media industry are also
included in the "ISO and the Media" feature. These articles cover a broad range of standards for
photography, images, videos, digital cinema, office printing equipment and “Universal Plug and Play“.
Also included is an article on ISO 32000-1 Document management - Portable document format - Part 1:
PDF which is the standard for the universal PDF file format. Other articles deal with standards for
graphic technology, optical data storage and formatting text for data storage and exchange.
ISO standards benefit users, manufacturers and service providers in the media industry. In an interview
with the CEO of IFRA Reinar Mittelback he stated that standardization “can save up to 7.5 % of total
production costs, which would be wasted if no standards were applied”. Reinar Mittelback adds that
newspapers “act in a global market, they publish advertisements for global brands aimed at an
international market and the use of worldwide-accepted standards is the only way to be able to do this
and to obtain consistent results - globally and locally".
ISO Secretary-General Rob Steele makes the point that, with over 18 000 published standards, it follows
that ISO standards have an impact on practically every industry and business. Rob Steel says that
awareness of the ISO brand and the benefits of ISO standards is increasing in both the consumer and
the business media. “Each day, there are hundreds of new references to ISO on the Internet. Last year
alone, the Meltwater Report …identified between 16 000 to 30 000 direct references to ISO and ISO

NEW CODE OF PRACTICE FOR RAINWATER HARVESTING
Roof rainwater harvesting is a process of capturing rain water off a roof and storing it for future use. Roof
rainwater catchment systems gather rainwater from the roofs of buildings, using a system of gutters and
down pipes (made of local wood, bamboo, galvanized iron or PVC) and lead it to storage containers that
range from simple pots to large ferrocement tanks. Rainwater is then abstracted from
Standards Bulletin

the storage container by a tap, hand pump or bucket-and-rope system. Airborne particles and air
pollution can have an impact on rainwater quality. Consequently a major consideration when harvesting
rainwater is that the roof is constructed of a suitable material for collecting quality rainwater and that the
roof gutters are installed to building standards, including an adequate fall to outlets to prevent sludge
build up. Gutter mesh to prevent leaves and debris from blocking gutters and mosquito mesh to seal the
storage from insects and vermin should also be installed.
In the light of the expansion of the rainwater harvesting industry in the UK, a new standard has been
published by BSI entitled BS 8515:2009 Rainwater harvesting systems. Code of practice to protect the
public and promote industry “best practice”. BS 8515:2009 covers the design, installation, testing and
maintenance of rainwater harvesting systems supplying non-potable water. Non-potable water cannot be
used for human consumption, but it can be used for many other purposes such as like laundry, WC
flushing and watering the garden. Consequently BS 8515:2009 does not cover systems supplying water
for drinking, food preparation, cooking, dishwashing and personal hygiene.
In terms of BS 8515:2009 there are three basic types of rainwater harvesting systems. The first type is
where rainwater is collected in storage tanks and pumped directly to the points of use. The second type
is where rainwater is collected in storage tanks and fed by gravity to the points of use. Finally, the third
harvesting system is where the water is collected in storage tanks, pumped to an elevated cistern and
fed by gravity to the points of use. In addition to three harvesting systems, BS 8515:2009 takes into
account the internal or external locations for tanks, single or multiple linked tanks, free-standing or fully
or partially buried tanks, communal tanks supplying multiple properties, packaged systems and
components.
It is interesting to note that in the bibliography of BS 8515:2009 there is a reference to DIN 1989-1:2002
Rainwater harvesting systems - Part 1: Planning, installation, operation and maintenance which is also
mentioned in Harvesting rainwater for domestic uses published by the Environment Agency in 2008 at
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/static/documents/Leisure/geho0108bnpnee_886790.pdf
Other current DIN standards for rainwater harvesting include DIN 1989-2:2004 Rainwater harvesting
systems - Part 2: Filters, DIN 1989-3:2003 Rainwater harvesting systems - Part 3:Collection tanks for
rainwater and DIN 1989-4:2005 Rainwater harvesting systems - Part 4:Components for control and
supplemental supply.
Apart from the UK (BS) and the German (DIN) standards for rainwater harvesting, Standards Australia in
conjunction with ARID (Australian Rainwater Industry Development Group), also published a handbook
on rainwater harvesting last year. HB 230-2008 Rainwater Tank Design and Installation provides
practical information for the collection, storage and use of rainwater within private, community and
commercial properties (excluding rainwater used in industrial processes). HB 230-2008 outlines
minimum standards and performance criteria and applies to new rainwater tank installations as well as to
alterations, additions, maintenance and repairs to existing installations.
ARID (at http://www.arid.asn.au) is a non-profit organisation that assists manufacturers and other
stakeholders to promote the benefits of rainwater and addresses water sustainability issues in Australia
in general.
Australia, like South Africa, is an arid country and has a serious water shortage problem at present.
Consequently Standards Australia (at http://www.standards.org.au) has also published HB 326-2008
Urban Greywater Installation Handbook for Single Households. “Greywater” refers to the wastewater
generated from kitchens, laundries and bathrooms that can be used on site for garden irrigation, toilet
flushing, washing machines and other outdoor uses. HB 326-2008 first identifies the potential risks
associated with greywater. It then goes on to discuss the design and installation of greywater treatment
systems and greywater diversion devices as well as the appropriate use of greywater.

AWWA
DRINKING WATER WEEK 2009 - ONLY TAP WATER DELIVERS
Established in 1881, the AWWA (American Water Works Association) is the oldest and largest non-
profit, scientific, educational and standards development organisation dedicated to safe water in North
America. AWWA has more than 60 000 members worldwide and its 4 500 utility members serve 80%
percent of the U.S. population in the US.
AWWA standards provide guidance for all facets of the drinking water community. They specify the
minimum requirements for design, installation, performance and manufacturing of products used in the
water industry, including pipes, chemicals, storage facilities, valves and other appurtenances. Members
of the AWWA Standards Committees have produced more than 140 Standards that provide industry-
approved technical guidance for 24 categories of products and processes in municipal water supply.
AWWA regularly issues new and revised standards and official notices of such actions are published
online at http://www.awwa.org/Resources/Standards.cfm?ItemNumber=44362&navItemNumber=44363
For more than 30 years, the AWWA and its members have celebrated “Drinking Water Week” which
provides a unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to join
together to acknowledge the vital role water plays in daily life.
The theme of Drinking Water Week 2009 which took place from 3 to 9 May 2009 was “Only Tap Water
Delivers”. Throughout the week, the AWWA highlighted water-related preparedness, drinking water
quality, water efficiency, water conservation and the importance of water infrastructure.
When it came to home preparedness for water-related emergencies, AWWA President, Mike Leonard,
said that Drinking Water Week 2009 was a good time for consumers to ensure they were prepared for
water service interruptions resulting from natural disasters, system malfunctions, power outages or other
emergencies.
Preparing for water emergencies at home include storing at least 4 litres of water per person per day and
having enough water on hand to last at least three days. As long as disinfected tap water is stored in a
clean, airtight container in a cool location, it should remain safe indefinitely. Water should be stored in
quality food-grade plastic containers instead of glass. Paper containers that will weaken over time should
be avoided. If problems exist with the tap water, such as contamination, any water used for drinking
should be boiled for at least three minutes (five minutes at higher altitudes). If possible it should also be
refrigerated after boiling.
As the result of droughts in the US over the past three years many experts predict that at least thirty-six
states will face water shortages within the next five years. In the AWWA’s 2008 State of the Industry
Report, industry professionals identified source water supply and protection as the top area of concern.
Mike Leonard added that as the demand for water continues to grows and impact of climate change are
felt, water should be valued and used wisely. In addition Mike Leonard also said that one of the best
ways to keep water safe and abundant is to protect it at its source. Consequently Drinking Water Week
2009 highlighted the importance of keeping watersheds and waterways free from pollution.
US media reports about trace amounts of pharmaceutical compounds and personal care products in
drinking water have underscored the connection between what is released into the environment and
what finds its way to our source water. “We all have a role in protecting our water resources” said Mike
Leonard. “Elected leaders can work for smart public policy that protects source water. Agriculture
operations and industry can take steps to reduce pollution in our waterways and aquifers. And we as
consumers can properly dispose of prescription medications and other products that are too often
flushed into the wastewater system and out to the environment.” As analytical methods improve,
compounds from pharmaceuticals and personal care products are being found in drinking water at very

low levels. While science has not found human health impacts these levels, researchers are continuing
study the occurrence, removal techniques and possible health impacts of these emerging contaminants.
“What matters most is not if we can find these substances - it’s the health impacts at the levels we find
them” Mike Leonard said. “It’s very important that we study not only what is there, but rather what it
means”. On 23 April 2009, the National Water Research and Development Initiative Act of 2009 was
passed the US House of Representatives. This legislation aims to coordinate research efforts in the US
to ensure adequate water supplies and to study of human health impacts associated with
pharmaceuticals and personal care products and other emerging contaminants.
In the US alone, communities use approximately 40 billion gallons of tap water each day for drinking,
cooking, cleaning and other everyday uses. To meet increased demand, the water community is
investing in new technologies such as water reuse and desalination of ocean and brackish water. Water
utilities are also highlighting the need to invest in water infrastructure to limit leaks from water mains and
encouraging water efficient devices.
As part of their water drive the AWWA offers consumers the following top ten conservation tips:
Don’t leave the sink running while you brush your teeth.
Fully load the dishwasher and clothes washer before running them.
Consider landscapes that use native or drought-resistant plants that do not require much water.
Repair dripping faucets and leaky toilets. Dripping faucets can waste up to 2 000 gallons of water
each year in the average home. Leaky toilets can waste as much as 200 gallons per day.
Install water-efficient appliances in your home.
Don't over-water your lawn, and water early in the morning or at night to avoid excess
evaporation.
When the driveway or sidewalk needs cleaning, consider a broom instead of a hose. It can save
up to 80 gallons of water.
If you have a swimming pool, use a cover. You will cut the loss of water by evaporation by 90%.
Help preserve the quality of the available water supply by not overusing pesticides and fertilizers,
avoiding flushing medications down the toilet or sink, and disposing of hazardous materials
properly.
Place rain barrels beneath your downspouts. The rainwater can be used for outdoor plants and
trees or to wash a car.
