Scope:

Note: This NOI was withdrawn by the responsible SDO on June 27, 2023. This Standard covers point of entry regenerable (using dissolved oxygen) well water filtration systems intended for residential and commercial applications and specifies requirements for materials, physical characteristics, performance testing, and markings. Point of Entry (POE) water treatment products covered in this Standard are intended to reduce Arsenic, Iron, Manganese, and Hydrogen Sulfide from drinking water.

Project need:

There is increasing concern for the quality of water from all sources including well water. There are devices in the marketplace to address these concerns. However, there are no standards to validate any claims or ensure a minimum water quality. Currently standards for these devices in Canada do not exist. This standard meets the needs of stakeholders: Architects, Plumbing contractors, Codes officials, Manufacturers, plumbing installers, plumbing engineers and specifiers.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
