The group is now accepting applications as it reforms to develop a new white paper concerning recommended installation practices for residential tankless/on-demand water heaters to reduce the danger of scalds.
The popularity of battery storage systems brings fire safety concerns. Proposed NFPA 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems addresses these concerns.
The new paper discusses the most common causes of hot water scalds from an improperly installed storage type water heater and how scald injuries can be reduced through proper installation.
The Code Council's 2019 campaign theme is “Leaving no one behind,” a goal that the association advances through its commitment to developing modern codes and standards that make water systems more efficient and sustainable.
