1 CE-Marking according to EN 12566-3
With the enactment of EN 12566-3 as of July 2010, some changes in the marking of small sewage
treatment plants have resultet:
The EN 12566-3 refers to prefabricated and assembled on-site small wastewater treatment plants.
The AQUATO
®
STABI-KOM complete system is a prefabricated wastewater treatment plant, which
has already passed the test according to EN 12566-3.
The installation of a retrofit unit is an on-site small wastewater treatment plant. The CE marking has to
be provided by the person who creates a small sewage treatment plant by assembling a retrofit unit
with the tank.
How do I declare the CE conformity according to EN 12566-3 for retrofit units?
Make sure that the tank has a CE marking according to EN 12566-3.
Make sure that the retrofit unit has a „Declaration of Incorporation“ according to the Directive
on Machinery 2006-42-EC.
Install the retrofit unit according to Installation instructions (chap. 7.2)
The values listed for the cleaning performance in the accompanying document were determined by
tests at the notified body and always refer to the tested system. The name of the laboratory and the
number of the test report can be found in the Declaration of Incorporation.
We assume that the installation of the retrofit unit is carried out in a tank that has been tested
according to EN 12566-3 and meets the requirements of the attached wastewater treatment
calculation.
Declare the CE conformity according to EN 12566-3 by completing the
accompanying document with your company name.
Your CE Sticker
Please attach it clearly visible and durable tot he plant,
for example, on the control panel.

2.1 Harmful substances and their appropriate disposal
In the last years, in the area the detergentsfor cleaning clothes in washing machines, liquid
detergentshave become increasingly established and are enjoying growing popularity. Also for
dishwashers, liquid dishwashing detergentsare found increasingly. Unlike powder detergents, liquid
detergents may also contain preservatives that are intended to prevent a microbial affection. These
preservatives have a strong disinfecting effect, which becomes noticable even after the use of the
detergent, for example, in your small wastewater treatment plant by killing the microorganisms
required for the biological purification of wastewater. The functionality of your small wastewater
treatment plant is no longer given and leads to excess of the required effluent values.
We therefore ask you, in your own interest, to check for presence of such preservatives in all liquid
detergents, softeners and all other liquid cleaners you are using, in addition to those listed in the table
below. Pay attention to the specification:
„BENZISOTHIAZOLINONE“
Detergents and cleaning agents as well softeners with this ingredient should only be used
exceptionally or not at all in your small wastewater treatment plant. Please use a powder or tab-
detergents and cleaners instead and try to avoid softeners, as these are already included in most
detergents.
If you have problems with your system, talk to your service company about it. Theywill be pleased to
assist in solving this problem.

6.6 Safety Information for Qualified Staff
Maintenance and repairs may be carried out by qualified personnel only. Before carrying out the work
it must be ensured that
• the knowledge and skills of the staff correspond the purpose of use
• taff training has taken place
• the instruction manual was read and understood
Prior to and during the work in the tank it has to be ensured
that that no hazardous gases and no explosive atmosphere
or oxygen deficiency can occur by using ventilation.
Prior to and during the work in the tank it has to be ensured
that that the system is disconnected from power and
secured against reconnection.
Working in tank requires safeguards even at low altitudes.
Therefore, appropriate actions are to be taken to prevent
falling.
If appropriate actions are not possible,personal protective
measures against falling should be used.
Always wear suitable protective clothing, as well as hand,
foot and face protection.
Avoid contact with wastewater.
We point out that despite all taken precautions at the installation,remaining risks can not be
excluded:
danger of stumbling
danger by electrical voltage
risk of infection by germs and bacteria
danger of explosion
6.7 Rescue Measures
Make sure that while working in the tank, a second person is available as safeguard. Never follow a
senseless person, but rather get some help.

7.1 Installation manual AQUATO
®
STABI-KOM in concrete tanks
The installation of the system have to be carried out by qualified staff only. Make sure that this staff
can take a look at the operating manual before beginning to work.
Make sure that there are only authorized persons on site.
During planning and installation of small wastewater treatment plants, attention is drawn to the
relevant standards and other regulations and accident prevention regulations.
The place of installation should be chosen so that a disposal vehicle can drive up close enough to the
tank WITHOUT stressing the tanks structure! Be sure to keep enough distance!
7.1.1 Space requirements
There must be sufficient space for the tank.
7.1.2 Position to buildings
The tank may not be overbuilt.
The necessary distance to buildings depends on the type and the depth of the building as well as the
depth and slope angle the excavation pit. Details are given in DIN 4123.
7.1.3 Frost protection
Regarding frost protection, for the Central European region the depth to the top of the sewer pipe hast
o be at least 800 mm according to DIN 1986-100; detail on any differences can be obtained by your
local authorities.
7.1.4 Additional criteria
Existing cables, pipes, and other specifics have to be taken into account that damages and dangers
are avoided (DIN 18300).
7.1.5 Depth of the excavation pit
The depth of the excavation results from the tank height, frost resistance and existing cables.
7.1.6 Surface of the excavation pit
The required surface area for the excavation pit is calculated by the total length and width of the tank
plus a width of 500 mm (DIN 4124) for the working space around the tank. In addition, the surface
resulting from the slope angle (DIN 4124) leading to expansion of the surface.
