| Abstract |
This report describes laboratory evaluation procedures which could be required for the approval of backflow prevention devices used to protect potable water supplies against contamination. Performance-based requirements, criteria, and general evaluation considerations that administrative authorities should require for approval of devices are presented. Recommendations for the development of tracer tests are submitted for further consideration. |
