Canada, US to Partner in Standards Development Project
OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada — The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) selected the balloon-type ball backwater valve as the product topic for the plumbing/heating sector joint Canada-U.S. standard pilot project. The pilot project, one of two binational pilots launched in July, is focused on new or emerging product areas where neither standards nor regulations currently exist.
A selection panel of Canada-U.S. industry representatives, including members of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating (CIPH) and several U.S. organizations, evaluated project submissions and determined that standards development for balloon-type ball backwater valves would benefit the greatest number of Canadian and American users.
