CISPI, NSF announce certification program
that the cast iron pipe, fittings and couplings used in drain, waste and vent (DWV) systems are made to the appropriate industry standards. The new program includes independent, periodic review of deflection, shear, and unrestrained hydrostatic tests as well as dimensional inspections and review of material test reports for steel and gaskets that comprise the couplings.
PMG/WaterSense Program accreditation
ICC EVALUATION SERVICE (ICC- ES) announced that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accreditation Committee has voted to expand its accreditation of the ICC- ES/WaterSense PMG Listing Program to include high-efficiency showerheads. Prior to this scope expansion, ICC-ES’s ANSI accreditation included high- efficiency toilets (HETs), urinals, and lavatory faucets.
Manufacturers will receive NSF certification for couplings that meet the CISPI 310 standard based on in- plant inspections conducted by trained NSF personnel. Once certified, by NSF International, manufacturers can apply an NSF certification mark to these couplings to indicate compliance with NSF requirements and appear on NSF’s website at
www.nsf.org.
