Research and Testing Options Expanded for Plumbing Manufacturers
IAPMO R&T’s Monterrey-based IAPMO Mexico laboratory is now a recognized testing facility for American cUPC standards. This expanded scope allows the lab to support certification to multiple American standards, including NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 for lead content compliance.
This expansion provides manufacturers with greater access to testing services for products intended for the U.S. and North American markets.
NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 is a key standard for demonstrating compliance with lead content requirements for products that come into contact with potable water. The expanded laboratory recognition is especially valuable for manufacturers of plumbing products that must demonstrate compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state lead content requirements, including Section 1417(d) of the Safe Drinking Water Act and Section 116875 of the California Health & Safety Code.
IAPMO Mexico’s complete expanded scope includes testing for use of the UPC mark for the following standards and requirements:
- ASME A112.19.2-2024/CSA B45.1-24 – Tank-Type Water Closets and Urinals Only
- EPA WaterSense Specification for Tank-Type Toilets, Version 1.2, dated June 2, 2014
- ASME A112.19.14-2013 (R2018) – Dual-Flush Water Closets
- NSF/ANSI/CAN 372-2024
- ASSE 1002-2020 / ASME A112.1002-2020 / CSA B125.12-20
- ASME A112.19.5-2022 / CSA B45.15-22
- Section 1417(d) of the Safe Drinking Water Act
- Lead Content Requirements of Section 116875 of the California Health & Safety Code.
