IAPMO^® has released the development timeline for IAPMO/ANSI WE•Stand 2017, an American National Standard for water efficiency and sanitation.

The standard, which will use as its basis the water provisions within IAPMO’s 2015 Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement (GPMCS), draws upon IAPMO’s core competency and industry expertise in plumbing systems for the purpose of providing comprehensive requirements to optimize water use practices attributed to the built environment while maintaining protection of the public health, safety and welfare. IAPMO intends to publish the standard in December 2017. Upon publication, WE•Stand 2017 will replace the GPMCS.

Members of the existing Green Technical Committee, as well as other manufacturers, potential users of the standard, installers and maintainers, labor representatives, design professionals, enforcing authorities, consumers, and special experts with a desire to be involved, are invited and encouraged to submit an application to participate on the new WE•Stand Technical Committee.
