Program History

ASSE’s product standards activity was born out if its disease research work about 55 years ago. It was found that while there were many standards for conventional plumbing and sanitation products, such as materials, pipe, valves, fittings, appliances, etc., only one or two standards existed for mechanical hardware- the preventive and controlling products.

ASSE is consistently busy developing new Standards and evaluating and revising existing standards.

A standing Standards committee was established with specific duties and responsibilities as shown in the By-Laws. The interests of the public and the producer are the most vital parts of the procedure, with emphasis on performance and application needs.
