IAPMO Advances Development of 2027 WE•Stand During Technical Committee Meetings

IAPMO has completed technical committee meetings toward the development of the 2027 edition of the Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard (WE•Stand), previous editions of which are American National Standards. During the June 19-20 meetings held at IAPMO’s World Headquarters West in Ontario, California, the committee acted on 119 public proposals.

Topics discussed included: Listing requirements and maximum water consumption rates for plumbing fixtures and fixture fittings; leak detection, monitoring and control devices; listing and installation requirements for water treatment devices and systems including ozone systems, UV disinfection, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration equipment, Legionella treatment devices and more.

In accordance with IAPMO’s American National Standards Institute-accredited code development process, balloting will begin July 15 and conclude Aug. 12. The Report on Proposals will be created from these balloted actions and published Sept. 23. All consensus body actions will be published and will be available for public review.
