STANDARDS AND LINKS
The following are published standards that HydroMax fully comply with and exceed.
UNITED KINGDOM – BRITISH STANDARDS
BS EN 12056-3:2000
GRAVITY DRAINAGE SYSTEMS INSIDE BUILDINGS. ROOF DRAINAGE, LAYOUT AND CALCULATION
This standard covers all aspects of above ground drainage and includes the National Annex (NB) for determining design rainfall intensities
Recommends design methods for roof and paved area drainage based on modern hydraulics and meteorological knowledge. Also deals with, the choice of materials and with site-work, including inspection, testing and maintenance.
BS 8490:2007
Guide to siphonic roof drainage systems
BS 8490 is the British Standard applies to roof drainage systems using circular-section pipes that operate under siphonic action. It does not apply to siphonic drainage systems using rectangular or trapezoidal section conduits for water conveyance.
It gives information and provides guidance on design parameters, installation, verification and maintenance needs of siphonic roof drainage systems. Guidance is also given on carrying out checks of designs, for the use of specifiers and regulatory authorities. Particular issues for site drainage systems that receive flows from siphonic roof drainage systems are also covered.
BS 8490 should be read in conjunction with BS EN 12056-3 which deals with the layout and calculation of roof drainage. BS8490 gives information facilitating the use of BS EN 12056-3 in the United Kingdom with regard to siphonic roof drainage systems; it does not alter any of the provisions of that standard.
It is based upon work carried out under a separate study part-funded by the Department of Trade and Industry as part of its Partners in Innovation scheme
USA – ASME/ANSI A112.6.9:2005
SIPHONIC ROOF DRAINS A112.6.9 – 2005
This Standard establishes minimum requirements and provides guidelines for the proper design, installation, examination, and testing of siphonic roof drains. It includes definitions of terms and parameters involved in the proper design of siphonic drainage systems. This Standard applies to roof drains designed, manufactured, and installed in piping systems that are intended to operate under depressurized siphonic conditions created by the connected piping system. Unless noted otherwise in this Standard, the requirements and standards for roof drains specified in ASME/ANSI A112.6.4 do not apply to siphonic roof drains. This Standard does not apply to conventional roof drains covered under ASME/ANSI A112.6.4. It is not the intent of this Standard to specify that a drain of a given diameter must drain a minimum or maximum amount of water. It is the intent of this Standard to provide standardized test procedures to ensure that drain products are evaluated equally. This Standard does not dictate minimum flow or depth performance criteria for siphonic roof drains. Instead, it specifies standard test procedures to be performed on siphonic roof drain products to document their actual performance and physical limits. These data are to be made available in manufacturer literature for use by designers for selecting the drain product and entering performance characteristics into design calculations.
ASPE/ANSI PLUMBING ENGINEERING & DESIGN STANDARD
TECHNICAL DESIGN STANDARD 45 : 2013
SIPHONIC ROOF DRAINAGE
ASPE’s first published plumbing design standard, Siphonic Roof Drainage, will help plumbing engineers and designers design and specify code-approved siphonic roof drainage systems.
This is a comprehansive standard to help Engineers of Record to design and specify siphonic roof drainage systems to prime and operate full bore through proper pipe dimensioning and the use of siphonic roof drains.
The purpose of this consensus standard is to establish the minimum performance specifications for siphonic roof drainage systems.
This concensus standard provides designers, installers and code officials with a “standard of practice” for the proper application of siphonic roof drainage.
The standard also provides guidelines for the inspection and testing of siphonic roof drainage installations.
SINGAPORE
SS525:2006 
Code of practice for drainage of roofs
Deals with the drainage of rainwater from roofs (including external walls) and recommends methods of designing gutters, gutter outlets and rainwater downpipes. It includes calculation of catchment areas and the required flow rate. Performance requirements for siphonic roof drainage are also outlined.
