A wastewater plan in accordance with DIN 14095 is a key component of preventive fire protection. The plan ensures that contaminated extinguishing water does not enter the sewage system or waterways in an uncontrolled manner, but is specifically retained, treated, or safely discharged.
Wastewater plans in accordance with DIN 14095
DIN 14095 classifies the wastewater plan as a so-called special plan within the fire department plan. The focus is on documenting the local wastewater network, including all pipes, retention facilities, and the connection area to the public sewer system or surface water inlet. The aim is to be able to react quickly and safely in the event of a fire – while protecting the environment and public infrastructure.
When is a wastewater plan required?
A wastewater plan must be drawn up if authorities require fire water retention as part of the building permit or fire protection planning. This applies in particular to:
- Industrial and commercial enterprises with hazardous substances
- Warehouses and transshipment points with water-polluting materials
- Facilities with increased fire water consumption
The plan is drawn up after prior consultation with the responsible fire department or fire protection agency and the municipal utilities. This is the only way to ensure that the plan is practical and effective in case of an emergency.
