IAPMO seeks Technical Subcommittee members for development of National Standard IAPMO Z1119
IAPMO is seeking volunteers, with technical background in plumbing and mechanical systems and specific knowledge of water powered sump pumps — such as jurisdictional authorities, testing lab and educational facility representatives, as well as consumers and manufacturing experts and consumers — to participate on the IAPMO Z1119 Technical Subcommittee (TSC). The scope of IAPMO Z1119 covers water-powered sump pumps intended to provide emergency or backup groundwater or storm water removal from buildings in the event of power failure and specifies requirements for materials, physical characteristics, performance testing and markings. Water-powered sump pumps covered by this standard are not intended for the removal of sanitary sewer water (sewage).
