Copying and networking prohibited.Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is establishe
3、d when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected inter- ests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessari- ly unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be c

The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products,

The immediate
16、need for standard specifications was answered by the issuance, in 1959, of Commercial Standards CS 221-59 for bathtubs and CS 222-59 for shower receptors. These standards served as the basis of product acceptance by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and code writing agencies. In 1962 the deve
17、lopment of a needed industry standard was undertaken by the NAHB Research Institute and a Reinforced Plastics Industry Advisory Board with the cooperation and assistance of the Society of the Plastics Industry. In July 1963, the NAHB Research Institute issued a new standard for tub-shower units whic
18、h constituted an extensive revision of CS 221- 59 and was the first performance-type standard for such products. In December 1965, the NAHB Research Foundation, Inc., continuing the work of the NAHB Research Institute, issued a revised standard for bathtub units and a standard for shower recep- tors
19、 and stalls. These standards were considered by those most interested to be worthy of approval as an American National Standard, and the need for their application nationally was self-evident. Accordingly, they were submitted to the Standards Institute in 1965 and approved on April 5, 1967 as Americ
20、an National Standard for Gel-Coated Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polyester Resin Bathtub Units, Z124.1-1967 and Gel-Coated Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester Resin Shower Receptors and Shower Stalls, Z124.2-1967. The sponsor also asked for the establishment of an American National Standards Committee, which
21、was approved as American National Standards Committee Z124. Use of American National Standards Z124.1 and Z124.2 has resulted, over the years, in con- structive suggestions which have been incorporated in these standards. Many of the require- ments given in these standards evolved out of field exper
22、ience with new materials and manu- facturing techniques. Therefore, these standards have been expanded, listing separate areas of pertinent tests and performance requirements for such materials and techniques. They also cover the revision and addition of test methods and performance requirements, an
23、d by July 2005, both were harmonized and combined as one American National Standard IAPMO/ANSI Z124.1.2-2005 by the IAPMO Z124 Standards Committee. Historically, in October 1978, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) assumed the secretariats position to continue
24、the work already in progress. The continuation of work resulted in the revision and updating of Z124.1 for Plastic Bathtubs and Z124.2 for Plastic Shower Receptors and Shower Stalls. These standards were forwarded to American National Standards Institute. Formal adoption was May 1, 1980. Grab bars,
25、slip resistance and fire and smoke are of prime concerns to the Z124 Committee. In 1985, reference to grab bars were included in both the bathtub and shower standards. In 1992, the Committee, after extensive study, decided to add an Appendix to the Z124 standards in regards to fire and smoke. At tha
26、t time, the 1991 addendum was removed from the standards because no evidence was found that plastic plumbing fixtures contributed to or caused fires. Since the Appendix is not a formal part of the standard, it was kept for information only. The consensus of the Committee was that the combustibility
27、concerns of plastic plumbing fixtures had been adequately addressed by the addition of the Appendix. Work is continuing on slip resistance and fire and smoke requirements. This standard for Plastic Lavatories, which had been started by a Task Group in early 1975, was also completed and forwarded to
28、American National Standards Institute in September 1979. The formal adoption date was May 21, 1980, and resulted in American National Standard Z124.3 for Plastic Lavatories. iii Licensed to Sarah Zhou. ANSI order X_63851. Downloaded 5/30/2008 4:21 AM.

29、 prohibited.At the request of HUD, a Task Committee developed a standard for Plastic Water Closet Bowls and Tanks. It was completed and forwarded to ANSI and formally adopted May 30, 1983, as American National Standard Z124.4. The Standard for Plastic Toilet (Water Closet) Seats which was started in
30、 November 8, 1983 was completed and for- warded to the American National Standards Institute on February 15, 1989. The formal adoption date was August 24, 1989 and resulted in American National Standards Institute, Standard Z124.5 for Plastic Toilet (Water Closets) Seats. The Standard for Plastic Si
31、nks which was started in April 1986 was completed and forwarded to American National Standards Institute on July 1989. The formal adoption date was December 13, 1990 and resulted in American National Standard Z124.6 for Plastic Sinks. The Standard for Plastic Bathtub Liners which was started in 1985
32、 was completed and forwarded to the American National Standards Institute in June, 1990. The formal adoption date was October, 1990 and resulted in American National Standards Institute, Standard Z124.8 for Plastic Bathtub Liners. The Z124 Committee had grown from the original 1962 Committee of elev
33、en industry members to a consensus Committee of thirty - three members. Suggestions for improvement of these Z124 standards are always welcome. They should be sent to the American National Standards Institute, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036. This standard was processed and approved for subm
34、ittal to ANSI by American National Standards Committee on Synthetic Organic Materials in Plumbing Fixtures, Z124. Committee approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all Committee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the Z124 Committee had the followi

43、ted.AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR PLASTIC LA V ATORY UNITS 1. Scope and purpose 1.1 Scope. This standard covers requirements and test methods for performance of materials and workmanship, and finish of plastic lavatory units manufactured as a sepa- rate bowl or a bowl with integral top. While this
44、standard covers the performance require- ments of plastic lavatory units and describes these perfor- mance requirements in terms of methods of test applicable to all such units, a number of different materials and meth- ods of manufacture shall be permitted to be used to meet these requirements. Eac
45、h of these materials and methods have different properties which will affect its end perfor- mance and suitability for the intended use. For this reason, portions of the standard are broken into separate require- ments designed to identify these individual characteristics. The materials and equipmen
46、t which are listed as having been used to conduct the testing procedures in this standard are provided solely for informational reference. Materials and equipment of similar design, composition and specifica- tion shall only be used to conduct these testing procedures when they produce equivalent re
47、sults. 1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum performance requirements for plastic lavatory units. Conformance to this standard and test procedures here- in shall indicate the acceptability of a plastic lavatory unit as a plumbing fixture. 1.3 Normative references. The fol
48、lowing standards con- tain provisions which, through reference in this text, consti- tute provisions of this American National Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this American National Sta
