- Significant leakage or damage during normal or reasonably foreseeable abnormal conditions.
- Detrimental contamination of the contents by other substances.
- Adverse interaction between services or between piping and electrical systems.
- People having contact with pipes that could cause them harm.
Pipes shall be protected against corrosion in the environment of their use.
Piping systems shall be identified with markings if the contents are not readily apparent from the location or associated equipment.
