WEEKLY EDITION May 17, 2017
Manufacturer Input Requested
on New Standards for Non -
sewered Waste Systems
I f your company manufactures non - sewered waste
systems, we need your input by MAY 24, 2017 !
In June 2016 the PSAI became
involved with ISO Project
Committee 305 in order to
help address the open
defecation practices in many
countries. ISO/PC 305 is
develop ing an international
standard on non - sewered
sanitation systems (NSSS). A
working draft is currently under development. Association
Insight has carried extensive articles in the past on the nature
of the project (see coverage from June 29 , August 24 , and
N ovember 9 ). The team is now at the point of "pressure
testing" some of the ideas in the draft standard.
NSSSs are intended to serve the vast majority of people
worldwide who currently do not have access to safe sanitation.
This includes a wide variety of geographical locations, ambient
temperatures and pressure ranges. As this standard may be
used for product certification, ISO/PC 305 is conducting a
survey to collect input from NSSS manufacturers to ensure that
some of the requirements are appropriate.
