The notification of the ROC availability will also be posted in the ANSI Standards Action for public review. The public review deadline is Oct. 27. Send any comments to codes-dept@iapmo.org.

Anyone may appeal to the Executive Committee of the WE•Stand in accordance with Section 9.0 of IAPMO's Regulations Governing Consensus Development of the WE·Stand.
