ASPE joins ASHRAE and NSF to develop standard on managing disease risk in building water systems
NSF International recently transferred facilitation of NSF Standard 444: Minimizing Risk of Disease and Injury Associated with Building Water Systems to ASHRAE to complete the standard development process and publish it as ASHRAE Standard 514.
The committee will use NSF 444: Prevention of Injury and Disease Associated with Building Water Systems as the base document and will coordinate with ASHRAE SSPC 188: Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems to prevent conflict or duplication between the two standards. Proposed Standard 514 will address building water quality, the importance of managing safe, quality building water systems, and prevention strategies.
