Chlorination of 63mm mdpe incoming cold mains

[Ch4 plumbing]

Our guys who install the main network on sites have to chlorinate their tools as they work & are not allowed to work if they have some every day infections.
I was not aware of any of this until I started this new job. Every days a school day.

Thanks for all your responses guys, all i can say is all this regulations is all :nono:!! What difference does it matter if the pipe is 20mm or 63mm, its still pipe and it carries the same water. I'm going to look into it and with the help of the custard( very clever man, up in society....wink wink) write up a certificate and following bs6700, we'll take the samples to be analyzed and then submit our findings. I think they'll find it hard pressed to say no with our combined experience/ qualifications.

I guess you haven't dealt with many Water Undertakers about new supplies in your time than bogrodder, I would advise against that type of approach, they don't seem to care a tinkers-cus that you are the customer (whoever that may be) unless you play by their rules they simple will not connect you.

BTW, BS6700 has been replaced now with BS EN 806 parts 1 - 5 I think.
