I refer to the new Children's Hospital, and ask : do all wetted surfaces of all components [e.g. pipes, valves, fittings, pumps, tanks, outlets] forming parts of the potable water network, both underground and aboveground within the site comply with the requirements of the Australian Standard AS 3500 Part 1 in terms of materials and products, and further that certification to the Australian Standard AS 4020 is available for all the components to ensure full compliance with Volume 3 of the National Construction Code and the Australia Drinking Water Guideline?

Yes.
The Managing Contractor John Holland has provided individual certification for relevant components of wetted surfaces forming part of the potable water network both underground and above ground within the site to the State. The documentation confirms compliance with the Australian Standard AS 3500 and AS 4020. The Managing Contractor has also provided the results of third party destructive testing of tapware that also confirms compliance.
The State’s independent advisor ChemCentre is currently carrying out further testing and results to date also confirm compliance.
