Before any device for the prevention of backflow or backsiphonage is installed, it must have first been certified as meeting the requirements of section 603.2, Approval of Devices or Assemblies, of the Uniform Plumbing Code, 2015 edition. Devices installed in a potable water supply for protection against backflow must be maintained in good working condition by the person or persons in control of the devices. The administrative authority having jurisdiction may inspect such devices and, if they are found to be ineffective or inoperative, shall require their replacement.
