Preface

This is the first edition of ASME A112.3.4/CSA B45.9, Plumbing fixtures with pumped waste and macerating toilet systems. This Standard supersedes ASME A112.3.4-2000, Macerating Toilet Systems and Related Components, and CSA B45.9-2002, Macerating Systems and Related Components.

This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.

This Standard was prepared by the ASME/CSA Joint Harmonization Task Group on Plumbing Fixtures, under the jurisdiction of the ASME Standards Committee on Plumbing Materials and Equipment and the CSA Technical Committee on Plumbing Fixtures. The CSA Technical Committee operates under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Construction and Civil Infrastructure. This Standard has been formally approved by the ASME Standards Committee and the CSA Technical Committee. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute on December 30, 2013.

ASME Notes:

1. This standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for American National Standards and it is an American National Standard. The Standards Committee that approved the code or standard was balanced to assure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity to participate. The proposed Standard was made available for public review and comment that provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and the public-at-large.

2. ASME does not “approve,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.

3. ASME does not take any position with respect to the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any items mentioned in this document, and does not undertake to insure anyone utilizing a standard against liability for infringement of any applicable letters patent, nor assume any such liability. Users of a standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.

4. Participation by federal agency representative(s) or person(s) affiliated with industry is not to be interpreted as government or industry endorsement of this standard.

5. ASME accepts responsibility for only those interpretations of this document issued in accordance with the established ASME procedures and policies, which precludes the issuance of interpretations by individuals.

6. ASME issues written replies to inquiries concerning interpretation of technical aspects of this Standard. All inquiries regarding this Standard, including requests for interpretations, should be addressed to:

   Secretary, A112 Standards Committee

   The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Two Park Avenue

   New York, NY 10016-5990

   A request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. The request should

   • cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested.

   • phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans or drawings, which are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information.
