Description

E03F covers the design, construction, and components of sewerage systems and individual wastewater containment structures. This includes sewage pipes, conduits, underground mains, connection networks, inspection and access points (manholes), and treatment-related infrastructure for collecting and transporting municipal and domestic wastewater. Also encompassed are cesspools, septic tanks, and similar on-site wastewater storage or treatment devices for areas lacking centralized sewerage. The classification excludes water supply systems (E03B), water purification and treatment plants (E03C), and the mechanical/chemical processes of wastewater treatment itself (typically C05 or other process classes).
