Our team monitors federal standards, state legislation, and certification programs that shape commercial plumbing, including drinking water safety and contaminates reduction, accessibility, and water conservation. By staying ahead of these changes, Sloan helps ensure the products you specify are ready for the standards that affect your projects today and tomorrow.
Building codes and water regulations are constantly changing. New legislation often begins in schools, universities, and government facilities, where concerns around contaminates in drinking water, accessibility, sustainability, and public health are shaping how plumbing systems must perform. Requirements may vary by state and sometimes by city. Specifiers, facility managers, building owners, and contractors need clear answers. What does the regulation require? Where does it apply? Which products meet the standard?
Sloan helps simplify that process
Our engineering and regulatory teams track emerging legislation and certification programs so the products you specify are ready for the environments where they are installed. Because compliance is not just about meeting today’s rules, it is about staying ready for the ones coming next.
Many regulations directly affect the products installed in schools, healthcare facilities, and public buildings. Sloan designs solutions that help facilities meet requirements related to water safety, accessibility, hygiene, and conservation.
Hydration solutions designed to support drinking water safety initiatives and filtration requirements in schools and public spaces.
Touchless operation supports hygiene standards while helping reduce water consumption and increase accessibility.
Durable solutions support Buy American Act, sustainability and accessibility initiatives, and more.
Touchless handwashing solutions designed for healthcare, education, and high-traffic facilities support sustainability, accessibility, and hygiene.
Many regulations begin with national standards and third-party certifications. Sloan products are designed and tested to meet widely recognized programs used across the United States.
Standards such as NSF 42, 53, and 401 verify filtration performance and contaminant reduction for substances commonly addressed in drinking water safety programs.
The Americans with Disabilities Act establishes requirements for fixture placement, reach ranges, and operation. Many Sloan fixtures are designed to support ADA-compliant installations across commercial restroom environments.
WaterSense identifies fixtures that reduce water consumption while maintaining performance. Many Sloan products help buildings meet water conservation goals across commercial facilities.
Many jurisdictions rely on national plumbing codes verified by organizations such as IAPMO. Sloan works with certification bodies to ensure products meet these requirements before they reach the field.
Water conservation is now a core part of modern building standards. From LEED projects to municipal water conservation programs, many facilities must meet stringent water-use targets. Sloan products support these goals through technologies that reduce water consumption while maintaining performance in high-traffic commercial environments.
Examples include:
States often move faster than federal standards. Schools and public facilities are often the first environments where new water safety and hydration requirements are introduced. The examples below highlight several regulations that shape drinking water access, filtration, and bottle-filler installations.
Compliance requirements will continue to evolve as states address water safety, sustainability, and public health. Sloan remains committed to helping engineers, contractors, and facility owners navigate those changes.
