IAPMO Seeks Technical Subcommittee Members for the Development of Two National Standards

The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO®) is seeking volunteers with technical background in plumbing and mechanical systems and specific knowledge of alternate water source reuse systems—such as jurisdictional authorities, testing lab and educational facility representatives, as well as manufacturing experts—to participate on the IAPMO Z1324 Technical Subcommittee (TSC). The scope of IAPMO Z1324 covers alternate water source systems for multifamily, residential, and commercial use intended to process water from alternate water sources—such as graywater, rainwater, stormwater, air conditioning condensate, cooling tower makeup, vehicle wash, and other nonpotable reuse applications not specifically listed—for use in subsurface and/or surface irrigation and toilet/urinal flushing applications. The Z1324 standard will be developed by this TSC.

The Z1324 TSC members will be assisting the Plumbing Standards Committee (PSC) with the development of a new American National Standard and National Standard of Canada. The Z1324 TSC will also be responsible for the content and processing of public review comments.

The deadline to apply for the Z1324 TSC is February 11.

IAPMO also is seeking volunteers with technical background in plumbing and mechanical systems—such as jurisdictional authorities, testing lab and educational facility representatives, as well as manufacturing experts—to participate on the IAPMO Z124 Technical Subcommittee (TSC). A new standard, Z124.10, for water closet and urinal partitions, will be developed by this TSC.

The Z124 TSC members will be assisting the Plumbing Standards Committee (PSC) with the development of Z124.10 as a new American National Standard and National Standard of Canada. The Z124 TSC will also be responsible for the content and processing of public review comments.

The deadline to apply for the Z124 TSC is February 12.

Applications can be downloaded at iapmo.org/media/5582/application-for-membership-iapmo-tsc-2019-01-31.pdf. Interested parties wishing to serve on either TSC can contact IAPMO Standards at [email protected] with a completed application, as well as a résumé, by the deadline, or may contact Kyle Thompson at 909-230-5534 with any questions.

IAPMO TSCs 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).

Founded in 1926, IAPMO seeks to be a worldwide leader in the plumbing and mechanical industry through the protection of health and safety. IAPMO develops industry standards with a focus on plumbing products, solar heating systems and components, mechanical products (including heating, ventilation, cooling, and refrigeration system products) and products used in the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing industries.

For more than 30 years, IAPMO has developed plumbing product standards as American National Standards, initially as the Secretariat for the ANSI Z124 Technical Committee in 1984, and since 2005 independently under its own American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited standards development procedures. In 2018, IAPMO received accreditation through the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for development of National Standards of Canada, thus accepting the responsibility for development of CAN/IAPMO-designated standards.
