Call for Committees: Two New Plumbing Standards
The International Code Council is seeking contractors, engineers, code officials, academics, manufacturers, health authority experts and other industry stakeholders to help develop the following standards:
- ICC 815 – Sizing Water Distribution, Drainage and Venting Standard
This new international standard will take a holistic worldwide approach to sizing water distribution, sanitary drainage and vent piping systems for residential, mixed-use and institutional occupancies that utilizes a modern sizing method that will greatly improve upon outdated methods used in all plumbing codes, as well as account for post-COVID-19 usage patterns. - ICC 825 – Private Sewage Disposal Systems Standard
This new international standard will provide minimum requirements for designing, constructing, operating and maintaining private sewage disposals systems based on newer technologies and methods, and most importantly, the impacts of climate change.
