The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), developer of the Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard (WE•Stand) has posted online the 2021 Report on Comments for the development of the 2020 edition of this document.

Interested parties are encouraged to download the documents HERE.

The 2020 WE•Stand was published in the July 23 ANSI Standards Action newsletter, with a deadline for comments on Sept. 6. 

No comments were received by the posted deadline.

In accordance section 9.1 of the IAPMO Regulations Governing Consensus Development of the Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard, anyone may appeal to the WE•Stand appeals panel. The appellant shall file a written complaint with the secretariat within 30 days of the date of notification of any action or, at any time, with respect to any action to which the appellant was not given notice or with respect to inaction. The deadline to file a written appeal is Oct. 7.

Anyone wishing to submit an appeal may contact Hugo Aguilar at hugo.aguilar@iapmo.org.

IAPMO employs a consensus development process accredited by the American National Standards Institute, gathering the largest assembly of plumbing and mechanical experts in the world at its annual education and business conference and technical committee meetings, enabling anyone — members and non-members alike — to propose changes to the code.
