A meeting on the development of environmental standards was held at the National Standards Authority

The technical committee meeting for the development of environmental standards at the National Standards Authority was convened with the participation of its chairperson and members in the technical conference hall of the authority.

During the meeting, the draft standard on wastewater transfer equipment for buildings and sites, Part 2: Transfer equipment for wastewater free from fecal matter, was discussed and reviewed. Technical discussions were held on the objectives, applications, mandatory references, terms and definitions, transfer efficiency, ventilation, and other related topics concerning the mentioned standard.

The purpose of wastewater treatment is to remove materials that make it suitable for future uses or ensure that its discharge does not harm environmental water resources. Materials that typically need to be removed from wastewater include suspended and floating solids, colloidal substances, and dissolved materials. To eliminate these substances, physical, chemical, and biological processes are employed.
