New Cross-Connection Control Professional Qualifications Standard Available

ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 5000-2022, Cross-Connection Control Professional Qualifications Standard has been designated as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute and is now available for purchase.

ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 5000, the referenced standard in the Uniform, International, and National Standard Plumbing codes, provides requirements for testing of backflow prevention assemblies and establishes the minimum qualifications requirements for certified backflow prevention assembly testers, fire protection system cross-connection control testers, backflow prevention assembly repairers, cross-connection control surveyor/specialists and backflow prevention program administrators. The document also contains additional information in its appendices, including field test procedures, troubleshooting flowcharts and guides, assembly and test kit schematics and sample field test report forms.

Changes in the 2022 revision address new products and procedures developed or refined over the past several years, along with code and standard changes. ASSE 5000’s working group was made up of dedicated individuals from each stakeholder and industry group that make up the cross-connection industry. Its finished product helps ensure necessary protection is in place to protect the safety and quality of water systems in North America and beyond.
