Foreword
Codeofchina.com is in charge of this English translation. In case of any doubt about the English translation, the Chinese original shall be considered authoritative.
According to the requirements of Notice on printing and distributing the (JIANBIAOHAN [2005] No. 124) issued by the former Ministry of Construction, this code is jointly prepared by Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Ltd. with organizations concerned.
During the development of this code, the drafting group has adhered to the core of "water saving and discharge reduction", and conscientiously implemented the guiding ideology of "saving water, utilizing water resources rationally, reducing pollution discharge and protecting water resources", summarized the water saving experiences of construction and design units of iron and steel enterprises in recent years by conducting targeted surveys and gathering data from iron and steel enterprises, actively sought and incorporated feedbacks from experts, scholars, and design professionals across the nation in the fields of design, scientific research, enterprises and other units, and held a number of symposiums. Following thorough examination, analysis, and multiple revisions by the group, this code was ultimately finalized upon review.
This code is divided into 10 clauses and one annex, with main contents including general provisions, terms, basic requirements, water source, production process, recirculating water treatment system, systems for softening & demineralizing water, reutilization of wastewater, rainwater utilization, leakproof & seepage prevention, etc.
The provisions printed in bold type in this code are compulsory and must be enforced strictly.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China is in charge of the administration of this code and the explanation of the compulsory provisions; China Metallurgical Construction Association is in charge of routine management; Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Ltd. is responsible for the explanation of specific technical contents. In case of any modification and supplement suggestion during the implementation of this code, please submit the suggestions and relevant information to the "Code for design of water saving for iron and steel enterprises" national code management team of the chief development organization, namely Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Ltd. (Address: No.7 Jian'an Street, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, 100176, China) for reference in future revision.
