Scope:

Note: This NOI was withdrawn by the responsible SDO on January 11, 2022. Atmospheric water generators are intended to be used to produce drinking water. Typical applications include areas where water is scarce or where water supplies are of unknown water quality. This standard has been created to test point of use and commercial drinking water generating systems that are designed to create potable water from humidity. Critical components of these systems include a surface chilled below the dewpoint of the ambient air, storage tank and disinfection control techniques to address microbiological water contamination. This standard is not intended to verify chemical, particulate, or other water purity claims made by the manufacturer. Systems may include filtration to reduce chemical and particulate water contamination. Proper design shall include consideration for the energy efficiency of the atmospheric water generator.

Project need:

To develop a new Joint Canada-U.S. National Standard for Drinking Water Atmospheric Water Generators to be used for testing and certification purposes by manufacturers, users, and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
