A contractor placed a 3" schedule 40 NEMA pipe in a column for the drainage system. The specs call for ASTM D1785. Will this be a problem? What concerns would the client have with this type of error?

D1785 is considered a pressure pipe whereas NEMA is a conduit for wiring. Dimensionally they're both the same.
