范围:本国际标准为废水公用设施的管理和废水服务的评估提供了指南。本国际标准适用于公共和私营废水公用事业，但不支持任何特定的所有权或运营模式。注1:使用或消耗水时总是会产生废水。因此，废水来源可以是住宅、工业、商业或机构。收集的雨水或（融化的）雪也可以被视为废水，因为它通常携带从空气或地面收集到的污染物和病原体进入收集系统。在某些情况下，特别是在不发达地区，生活垃圾以未经稀释的形式收集。本国际标准涉及废水系统的整体，适用于任何开发水平的系统（例如。 g、 坑厕、现场系统、网络、处理设施）。以下内容在本国际标准的范围内:不同利益相关者通用语言的定义废水利用率目标废水利用率管理指南服务评估标准和相关绩效指标示例，均未设定任何目标值或阈值。以下内容不在本国际标准的范围内:废水系统的设计和施工方法管理结构的规定和废水服务活动的方法操作和管理与建筑物内系统相关的合同或分包合同内容的规定，在排放点和收集点之间。注2本国际标准ISO 24510和ISO 24512包括一系列水服务标准。 因此，建议将这三个国际标准结合使用。注3.第2条中的术语和定义列表是本国际标准ISO 24510和ISO 24512的共同部分。注4.附件A包含三个英文、法文和西班牙文等效术语对应关系表。

Scope:This International Standard provides guidelines for the management of wastewater utilities and for the assessment of wastewater services.This International Standard is applicable to publicly and privately owned and operated wastewater utilities, but does not favour any particular ownership or operational model.NOTE 1 Wastewater is always generated when water is used or consumed. Accordingly, sources of wastewater can be residential, industrial, commercial or institutional. Collected storm water or (melted) snow can also be considered as wastewater, as it often carries contaminants and pathogens picked up from air or ground surfaces on its way to a collection system. In certain circumstances, especially in undeveloped areas, sanitary waste is collected in an undiluted form.This International Standard addresses wastewater systems in their entirety and is applicable to systems at any level of development (e.g. pit latrines, on-site systems, networks, treatment facilities).The following are within the scope of this International Standard:the definition of a language common to different stakeholdersobjectives for the wastewater utilityguidelines for the management of wastewater utilitiesservice assessment criteria and related examples of performance indicators, all without setting any target values or thresholds.The following are outside the scope of this International Standard:methods of design and construction of wastewater systemsregulation of the management structure and the methodology of wastewater service activities of operation and managementregulation of the content of contracts or subcontractstopics related to the systems inside buildings, between the point-of-discharge and the point-of-collection.NOTE 2 This International Standard, ISO 24510 and ISO 24512 comprise a series of standards addressing water services. It is therefore advisable to use these three International Standards in conjunction with each other.NOTE 3 The list of terms and definitions in Clause 2 is common to this International Standard, ISO 24510 and ISO 24512.NOTE 4 Annex A contains three tables of correspondence between equivalent terms in English, French and Spanish.
