2nd edition, amendment 5


Effective on 14 February 2014 until 30 May 2017

 

Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods (AS and VMs) were called compliance documents. Some still have the “compliance document” title but the AS or VMs they contain are valid and unaffected by the name change.

All of the Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods relating to G13 are contained in one document.

  • G13/VM1 provides a verification method for sanitary plumbing.
  • G13/AS1 gives a means of complying for some above-ground non-pressure sanitary plumbing (water traps, discharge pipes, discharge stacks, venting, watertightness test methods).
  • G13/VM2 provides a verification method for drainage.
  • G13/AS2 gives a means of complying for some below-ground non-pressure foul water drains (drainage materials, design, ventilation, installation, watertightness test methods). 
  • G13/AS3 gives a design solution using AS/NZS 3500.2 and a solution using PVC-U pipes and fittings.
  • G13/VM4 gives a verification method for on-site foul water disposal.
