The tanks must conform to specific design, material, and performance criteria to guarantee safe storage of potable water under diverse conditions. Certification under IS 12701:1996 confirms that the tanks have been rigorously tested for strength, resistance to leakage, UV stability, and safety of materials in contact with water, ensuring long-term reliability and consumer protection. Compliance reflects a manufacturer’s commitment to quality assurance, public health, and adherence to regulatory norms.
IS 12701:1996 – Rotational Moulded Polyethylene Water Storage Tanks
This Indian Standard specifies the requirements for rotationally moulded polyethylene water storage tanks intended for use in storing potable water. It covers specifications for raw material quality, wall thickness, shape, and construction to ensure robustness and safe storage. The standard requires tanks to be resistant to environmental stress cracking, chemicals, and weathering, especially UV degradation, to withstand outdoor use. It also lays down testing methods for performance, including hydrostatic pressure tests, drop tests, and stress cracking tests, ensuring the tanks remain safe, durable, and free from leakage throughout their service life.
