1、 Plastic Toilet Seats IAPMO/ANSI Z124.5-2013e1American National Standard Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards de

2、veloper. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that al

3、l views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, pur

4、chasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to i

5、ssue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may

6、be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.

It supersedes the previous editi

13、ons, published in 2006, 1997, and 1989 under the title Plastic Toilet (Water Closet) Seats. This Standard was developed by the IAPMO Z124 Technical Subcommittee and approved by the IAPMO Plumbing Standards Committee in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Essential Requir

14、ements: Due process requirements for American National Standards and the IAPMO Policies and Procedures for Consensus Development of American National Standards. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on March 15, 2013. Notes: (1) The use of the singular does not exclude the plur

15、al (and vice versa) when the sense allows. (2) This standard was developed in accordance with the IAPMO procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for American National Standards and it is an American National Standard. The IAPMO Standards Committee that approved this Standard was balanced to ass

16、ure that individuals from competent and concerned interests had an opportunity to participate. During its development, this Standard was made available for public review, thus providing an opportunity for additional input from industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and the public at large. (3) Thi

17、s Standard was developed by consensus, which is defined as substantial agreement; consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. It is consistent with this definition that a member of the relevant IAPMO Standards Committee can be included in the committee roster a

18、nd yet not be in full agreement with all sections of this Standard. (4) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.
