Description

Terrazzo, concrete, composite stone, and natural stone plumbing fixtures

0 Introduction

0.1 This harmonized Standard was developed in response to an industry request for a Standard for evaluation of terrazzo, concrete, composite stone, and natural stone plumbing fixtures that would be acceptable for use in both Canada and the United States. Standards for plumbing
fixtures made of other materials are also available or under development.

0.2 Harmonization activities for plumbing fixtures standards were undertaken in 2005 by a Joint Harmonization Task Group (JHTG) on Plumbing Fixtures, in which the CSA and IAPMO plumbing fixtures committees were equally represented. The responsibility for procedural matters and final approval of technical content was assumed by technical committees at higher levels within each standard development organization (SDO).
