IAPMO IGC 127 20142018 1 Scope 1.1 This Standard covers combined hand washing systems comprised of electronically actuated soap dispensers, faucets, and hand air dryers, and specifies requirements for materials, physical characteristics, performance testing, and markings. Note: In this Standard, combined hand washing systems are referred to as hand washing systems. 1.2 The requirements of this Standard are not intended to prevent the use of alternative materials or methods of construction provided such alternatives meet the intent and requirements of this Standard. 1.3 In this Standard, (a) shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy to comply with the Standard; (b) should is used to express a recommendation, but not a requirement; (c) may is used to express an option or something permissible within the scope of the Standard; and (d) can is used to express a possibility or a capability. Notes accompanying sections of the Standard do not specify requirements or alternative requirements; their purpose is to separate explanatory or informative material from the text. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and can be written as requirements. 1.4 SI units are the primary units of record in global commerce. In this Standard, the inch/pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each measurement system are equivalent in application, but each unit system is to be used independently. All references to gallons are to U.S. gallons. 1.5 Proposals for amendments to this Standard will be processed in accordance with the standards writing procedures of IAPMO. 1.6 The user s attention is called to the possibility that compliance with this Standard might require use of an invention covered by patent rights. By publication of this Standard, no position is taken with respect to the validity of any such claim(s) or of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder has filed a statement of willingness to grant a license under these rights on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms and conditions to applicants desiring to obtain such a license, then details can be obtained from IAPMO.
