Plumbing standards are constantly evolving with changing requirements for the safety, quality, and performance of plumbing equipment in commercial and residential buildings. To validate that your products meet the applicable standards and regulatory codes, CSA Group can perform the necessary evaluation activities to provide third-party verification.
Plumbing equipment includes:
- Fittings and fixtures (e.g., faucets, valves, showers, lavatories, sinks, water closets, bathtubs, pumps, holding tanks, etc.)
- Grease interceptors (e.g., approved grease interceptors or grease removal devices qualifying for installation in a restaurant kitchen or commercial location)
- Pipes and pipe fittings (e.g. plastic and non-plastic pipes, manifolds, pipe fittings)
- Water treatment systems and components (e.g., plumbing products containing a filter, water softener, reverse osmosis unit, or ultraviolet disinfectant [UV] unit, plumbing products intended for drinking water supply)
