Portable Sanitation and the EPA

By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Director
New Non-Sewered Sanitation Systems Standard ISO 30500
Helps Support Safety and Global Sustainability
The PSAI had a seat at the table in the development of a newly published
international standard that will revolutionize the development of "next
generation toilets." These systems, also known as "non-sewered sanitation
systems," will encourage cleaner safer sanitation systems for populations
in communities across the planet. The International Organization for
Standardization's ISO 30500, Non-sewered sanitation systems —
Prefabricated integrated treatment units — General safety and
performance requirements for design and testing, released in October
and available on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
webstore, will support better and safer toilets in areas where infrastructure
such as sewers, plumbing and electricity are not available.
