Air-Handling and Water Systems of Buildings - Microbial
Control - Design, Installation and Commissioning
AS/NZS 3666 Part 1 - The Australian
Standard/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3666 Part 1 is
concerned with microbial control issues associated with
air handling and water systems in commercial buildings.
AS/NZS 3666 Part 1 identifies the minimum requirements
for the design, installation and commissioning of such
building systems.
Although originally developed for commercial building
services systems AS/NZS 3666 Part 1 can also be applied
to other commercial or industrial air handling and water
systems, and to domestic systems incorporating cooling
water equipment.
Common Sources of Legionnaires' Disease
This standard looks at common sources of Legionnaires’
disease in commercial building air handling and
water systems. Other sources, both known and potential,
include cooling water systems for refrigeration equipment
and air compressors, industrial heat exchangers when
opened for cleaning, decorative fountains, spray irrigation
systems, and industrial water-based cutting fluid systems.
Whilst AS/NZS 3666 Part 1 identifies minimum design,
installation and commissioning requirements associated
with the control of microbial growth in air handling
and water systems of commercial buildings; operational
and maintenance issues are dealt with in AS/NZS
3666 Part 2.
For additional information concerning the control of
microbial growth in air handling and water systems of
commercial buildings, HB 32 should be consulted.
