Wastewater Discharge Standards for Shopping Centers and Malls

Shopping centers and malls are classified as controlled buildings under Thai environmental regulations. They must strictly comply with wastewater discharge standards set by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and relevant Building Control Regulations. These establishments are categorized under Building Types A, B, or C depending on their size and total usable area. Each category is required to have a wastewater treatment system and monitor discharge quality before releasing wastewater into public sewers or natural water sources.

📊 Wastewater Discharge Standards by Building Type

Note: Large malls with higher water usage may be classified under Type A, which has the most stringent standards.

📌 Additional Regulatory Requirements

• A properly engineered wastewater treatment system must be installed and maintained.
• Regular effluent testing and report submissions to government agencies are mandatory.
• If connected to a municipal wastewater treatment plant, the facility may be exempt from these discharge limits but must have a pre-treatment system as required by local authorities.
• Water quality testing (e.g., pH, BOD, SS) must use government-approved methods (e.g., pH Meter, Azide Modification for BOD, Glass Fiber Filter for SS).
