Sources and technical standards
9–1. Method of using resources
In the file of each project, three groups of documents should be separated from each other:
group | Application |
|---|---|
Local authority regulations and requirements | Determination of applicable duties and licenses |
Selected technical standards | Determining the method of design, test and evaluation |
Manufacturer's documents | Determining the conditions of installation, operation and maintenance of specific equipment |
The year of editing, the scope of application and the related paragraph of each reference should be recorded in the "Project Design Basics List". The title of a standard or its introductory page is not a substitute for reading the full text to design and verify compliance.
9–2. Electricity, equipment and control standards
reference | subject | Application in fountain |
|---|---|---|
IEC 60364-7-702:2010[451] | Electrical installation requirements for pools and fountains | Zoning and protection methods in the field of application |
IEC 60364-6:2016[452] | Inspection and testing of electrical installations | Initial and periodical inspection and registration of results |
IEC 60598-2-18:2022[453] | Pool lights and similar applications | Evaluation of lights underwater and in contact with water |
IEC 60529, consolidated version [454] | Degrees of protection of enclosures | IP claim interpretation and review |
IEC 61558-2-6:2021[455] | Transformers and supplies with safety isolation | Selection and evaluation of the relevant source, along with the general part of the standard |
ANSI E1.11-2024[456] | DMX512-A | Display and lighting command transfer |
ANSI E1.20-2025[457] | RDM | Two-way management of compatible equipment |
Versions of the table, specific sources have been checked. The release status and version required for the contract should be controlled when developing technical specifications; For example, the pre-release page of IEC 60364-6:2026 is also published with the PRV label and should not automatically replace the project-approved version without checking the final status. IEC pre-release page [458]
9–3. Sources of mechanics and calculations
reference | Application |
|---|---|
ISO 9906:2012[459] | Acceptance test of hydraulic performance of rotary pumps, by determining the degree of acceptance |
Head technical reference in KSB [460] | Definitions of pump head and system |
Pump technical reference in KSB [461] | Power, curves and fundamentals of performance |
Schneider Electric cable selection guide [462] | Conductor selection method and protection coordination |
Curves and brochures of the actual model of the equipment | Selection of work point, installation limit and service schedule |
The pump test standard is not the only criterion for accepting the beauty of the fountain effect. The shape, height, uniformity and coordination criteria of the display should be written in the project specifications.
9–4. Health resources and water quality
reference | Application |
|---|---|
CDC; Legionella control in decorative fountains [463] | Water management program and control measures of decorative water feature |
CDC; Operation of swimming pools and water playgrounds [464] | Monitoring and operation of systems with public contact |
MAHC, fifth edition 2024 and accompanying documents [465] | Reference for the design and sanitary operation of public water facilities |
Guidelines approved by the local health authority | Applicable limits, sampling and response to contamination |
The MAHC is a model guide and its applicability is subject to acceptance by the relevant authority. Its use in the book does not mean that it is automatically introduced as the law of the project site. CDC explanation about MAHC position [466]
9–5. Urban safety and local documents
In each project, documents related to the following topics should be collected and their scope determined:
• electrical and mechanical facilities; in Iranian projects, including the review of topics related to national building regulations;
• Rules of the municipality, beautification organization and public space management;
• Accessibility and crossing routes;
• Traffic safety in squares and roads;
• Restriction of sound and light;
• water supply and waste disposal;
• Safety of implementation, repair and entry into confined spaces.
The old FHWA Guide to Traffic Fields [467] can be used to study placement and visibility principles, but the publisher has identified it as an archival document; For the new design, the current documents of the local traffic authority should be used as a basis.
9–6. Specialized resources of Abnema companies
source | Suggested use in the book |
|---|---|
GSO Fountain; Urban fountain [468] | Introduction of products, types of fountains and samples of the company |
OASE Fountain Technology[469] | Equipment, control systems and international samples |
Crystal Fountains; Fountain design [470] | Design approach, integration and implementation examples |
Information published by the manufacturer about a model or project is attributed to the same item. Marketing claim, laboratory performance number and actual operating result are three different types of data.
9–7. Registration form of project basics and resources
Code | document title | publisher | Editing and date | Related section | Application in the project | Responsible for review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
R-01 | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… |
R-02 | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… |
R-03 | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… |
9–8. Image source registration form
Image number | project or topic | Photographer or owner of the work | Permission to publish | Photo date | Subtitle approved |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
…… | …… | …… | …… | …… | …… |
For technical attachments, the actual plan and image of the equipment is preferred. Conceptual or AI-generated imagery must be identified as such and not presented as an executive drawing, test proof, or photo of the actual project.
