(Courtesy of Nick Soden – HCAA Hydraulic Consultants Australasia Forum).

• Point 1: AS/NZS 3500.1 2021 – The backflow section has largely been removed from AS/NZS 3500.1 and is now only listed in the PCA.
• Point 2: Definitions have been relocated to AS/NZS 3500.0. This was done for consistency across the series.
• Point 3: Conformance to individual product standards has been removed.
• Point 4: Changes to the requirements for the marking of pipes in commercial buildings to assist in the better

identification of pipework and avoid cross connections.
