MOKENA, IL — ASSE International is seeking working group members to participate in the development of four American National Standards: ASSE 1391, ASSE 7000, ASSE 10000, and ASSE 19000.
ASSE 1391 working group members will assist the Product Standards Committee (PSC) in converting LEC 2006 Point of Entry Reverse Osmosis Systems into an ANSI standard, ASSE 1391 Performance Requirements for Point of Entry Reverse Osmosis System.
“ASSE 1391 will address point of entry (POE) reverse osmosis (RO) systems installed after water meters in residences or businesses,” said John Higdon, IAPMO’s director of Standards Development. “These systems are used to treat drinking water by reducing dissolved solids, heavy metals, microbes, and inorganic and organic contaminants—a key concern of many water consumers today.”
Separately, ASSE professional qualification standard working group members will assist the Professional Qualifications Standards Committee (PQSC) with the continued development of three American National Standards—ASSE 7000 Standard for Residential Potable Water Fire Sprinkler System Installers & Inspectors for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, ASSE 10000 Standard for Green Plumbing Systems Installers, and ASSE 19000 Hydronic Systems Professional Qualifications Standard.
“The subject standards provide minimum performance criteria, identified by industry consensus, for residential potable water fire sprinkler system installers and inspectors and installers of green plumbing and hydronic systems, and will help ensure compliance with the referenced standards in each,” Higdon said.
The working groups will operate in accordance with ASSE’s accredited procedures for standards development:
IAPMO/ASSE PP-1 (Policies and Procedures for Consensus Development of American National Standards)
The first working group meetings will be held virtually in September.
The deadline to apply is Aug. 30. Applications can be downloaded through the following URL:
