The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO®) is seeking volunteers, with technical background in plumbing and mechanical systems and specific knowledge of water-powered sump pumps—such as jurisdictional authorities, testing lab and educational facility representatives, as well as consumers and manufacturing experts and consumers—to participate on the IAPMO Z1119 Technical Subcommittee (TSC). The scope of IAPMO Z1119 covers water-powered sump pumps intended to provide emergency or backup groundwater or storm water removal from buildings in the event of power failure and specifies requirements for materials, physical characteristics, performance testing, and markings. Water-powered sump pumps covered by this standard are not intended for the removal of sanitary sewer water (sewage).
IAPMO also is seeking volunteers, with technical background in plumbing and mechanical systems and specific knowledge of wastewater diverter valves and diversion systems—such as jurisdictional authorities, testing lab and educational facility representatives, as well as manufacturing experts and consumers—to participate on the IAPMO Z1059 Technical Subcommittee (TSC). The scope of IAPMO Z1059 covers wastewater diverter valves and diversion systems and specifies requirements for materials, physical characteristics, performance testing, and markings. Wastewater diverter valves covered by this standard can be used in alternate water source systems for indoor and outdoor non-potable uses. This standard does not cover grey water diversion valves, which are addressed in ASME A112.18.2/CSA B125.2.
The Z1119 and Z1059 TSC members will be assisting the Plumbing Standards Committee (PSC) with the development of new American National Standards (ANSI) and National Standards of Canada (NSC). The Z1059 and Z1059 TSCs will operate in accordance with IAPMO’s accredited procedures for standards development: IAPMO PP-1 (Policies and Procedures for Consensus Development of American National Standards) and IAPMO PP-2 (Policies and Procedures for Development of National Standards of Canada).
The deadline to apply is July 26. Applications can be downloaded at iapmo.org/media/5582/application-for-membership-iapmo-tsc-2019-01-31.pdf.
