DANSK DSF/ISO/FDIS 24516-2 PDF

This document specifies guidelines for technical aspects, tools and good practices for the management of assets of waterworks to maintain value from existing assets. Excluded is the management of assets in drinking water distribution networks which are part of the drinking water system and can influence the management of assets of waterworks. For further guidance on drinking water distribution networks see ISO 24516-1:2016. However, ISO 24516-1 excludes pumping stations and storage tanks. NOTE 1 – For simplicity of interpretation of drinking water system assets, the management of pumping stations and service reservoirs, excluded from ISO 24516-1, is addressed in this document irrespective of where these assets are sited in the drinking water system. Similarly, the management of transmission mains is addressed in ISO 24516-1 irrespective of where these assets are sited in the drinking water system. This document is focused on the assets typically owned or operated by drinking water utilities (networked drinking water systems) that in parts are expected to meet users’ needs and expectations over longer (multi-generational) periods. This document includes examples for good practice approaches on the strategic, tactical and operational levels. This document is applicable to all types and sizes of organization and/or utilities operating drinking water systems. NOTE 2 – Depending on the size and structure of an organization the utility can decide to what extend it applies the guidance in this document, but in any case, the philosophy of this document remains applicable even to small and medium utilities NOTE 3 – This includes all different roles/functions for the management of assets within an utility (e.g. asset owner/responsible body, usually the owner of the asset, asset manager/operator, service provider/operator.
