IAPMO R&T, a North American third-party certification body for plumbing, mechanical and water treatment products, has earned approval to begin certifying high-efficiency flushometer-valve water closets to the U.S. EPA’s new final specification for the WaterSense® consumer product-labeling program.
Flushometer-valve toilets are typically found in industrial, commercial or institutional restrooms and have two main components – the toilet bowl and the flushometer valve. IAPMO R&T can provide independent certification to prospective WaterSense®-labeled models that meet the EPA’s water-efficiency and performance criteria, ensuring both sustainable, efficient water use and a high level of user satisfaction with flushing performance.
