Project Need
This will be the National standard superseding the approved IAPMO ORD - IGC 124. More complicated hand washing stations are becoming prevalent in the marketplace. These devices combine features from different disciplines such as plumbing, electrical, electronic controls. There is a need to have an all-encompassing standard to define safety and performance requirements and allow for the evaluation of products. This standard meets the needs of stakeholders: Plumbing engineers, plumbing and construction contractors, regulatory authorities, plumbers, manufacturers.
