JOINT COMMITTEE ON PLASTICS AND RV PLUMBING COMPONENTS
Draft Meeting Summary
NSF International, Ann Arbor, Michigan
July 22, 2015

WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2015
I. Opening Remarks
B. Powitz called the meeting to order and gave an introduction. He noted that there are two
issues he would like to address during this meeting: 1) splitting off brass fittings from Standard
14 (would allow more time for the JC to speak about other things) and changing the name of
Standard 14 to include “metal” in the scope as well as 2) the plan to split up the JC into
manufacturers and everyone else (group breakout sessions) for an open forum re: what do they
like about Standard 14 (as this standard is getting old and it may be difficult to remember where
various revisions came from), what do they like about the standard, and how can it be
streamlined? This is a new approach for JC meetings to identify areas where the standards can
be improved and revised. The outcomes of the discussion will then either be taken to task
groups or taken up with the JC to vote on.
L. Panoff took attendance in the room and on the phone, and read the Antitrust Statement. B.
Powitz welcomed new members and guests to the JC meeting. The JC is always looking for
public health/regulatory members. If anyone knows an interested party, please submit a letter
to the JC Secretariat so that an application may be submitted for consideration by the JC chair.
Review of 2014 Meeting Summary
The 2014 meeting summary was provided to the JC with a motion to finalize without changes.
Motion: T. Scarano; to finalize 2014 meeting summary
Second: B. Pines
Vote: all affirmative
Outcome: motion passes
Standards Update
L. Panoff read a report of recently passed ballots in 2015. This includes: 14i67r1, 14i65r1,
14i69r1, 14i70r1, 24i10r2. There are no ballots currently open.
II. Task Group Chair Updates
Task Group on Components for Earth Energy (Geothermal) Systems (A. Ciechanowski, chair)
Discussion focused on the status of and next steps for ballot 358i1r1.
J. Brown has been involved with developing this standard. Noted that industry has a strong
desire to see geothermal requirements included in this standard. QC requirements are an
important part of Standard 14; leaving out PEX is a disconnect to the standards currently in
Page 5 of 19
place. Remaining negative votes on this ballot: Wayne Bryce, Mark Clark, Peter Cook, Marty
Ocedek (requested deletion of section 7).
B. Chapin asked if QC requirements have been included in the standard for the installation. J.
Brown noted that we do not have jurisdiction over this piece as installation is not part of this
standard; this is a product standard. An example is CSAC448, which is an installation standard
and would be the appropriate place for this information. A. Ciechanowski suggested taking a
straw poll during this JC meeting on this issue to see where everyone stands.
M. Ocedek is one of the negative voters; asked what the drawback is to putting QC
requirements in 14 which appears to be a certification standard, and leaving product standard
as a product standard. The response is that not putting QC requirements in the standard leaves
it lacking as it is a standalone standard rather than one referenced in NSF 14.
S. Remedios, who was participating remotely, submitted comments via email during the
meeting to be shared with the Joint Committee. These are included in the meeting summary per
direction of the chairperson. She stated:
“1) I totally agree with Marty Ocedek when he gave an explanation of why they should NOT be in
a product standard.
These requirements can only be verified by an on-site inspection. A body must be accredited to
do these inspections and although NSF may be so accredited, other people using this standard
may not be, hence it is inappropriate for engineers etc to consider these part of a product
standard.
Unfortunately over the years, certification issues have become part of the conversation when
writing product standards.
Organizations are accredited to write standards (SDO'S); they may not also be accredited as
certification bodies, hence a line must be drawn in the sand when discussion turns to certification
issues during a Product Standards meeting.
Similarly organizations are accredited as Inspection Bodies and have the expertise to carry our
inspections for CB's to meet the CB's requirements for certification of products. These CB
requirements for Quality Control may differ from CB to CB therefore it is not acceptable for QC
requirements to be included in a Product Standard, which may be used by many CB's to certify
product.
If it is possible to include this statement in the breakout sessions, it may be of interest to others.
2) Some time ago the ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 standard for Plumbing Supply Fittings was
agreed to be removed from the referenced standards in NSF 14. At the same time it was
petitioned to also remove CSA B125.3 Plumbing Fittings from the referenced standards in NSF 14.
This was based on the same rationale for the 18.1/125.1 standard is so far as there is no
documented evidence that these products, which have been manufactured successfully for over
50 years have any history of dezincification or stress corrosion cracking if made properly.
The response received from NSF staff was that NSF certified ball valves to the 125.3 standard.
The scope of the standard does not include ball valves and other standards cover these products.
This is not a valid technical reason to mandate DZn and SCC requirements for products made to
CBS B125.3.”
A. Ciechanowski noted that Annexes are not typically mandatory. B. Powitz noted that it actually
can be; this is mandatory in certain standards already in existence. The Annexes are part of the
Page 6 of 19
standard because they are voted in as part of it, regardless of whether or not they are
normative.
K. Choquette noted that this is confusing to the regulators. B. Powitz noted that this is a good
topic of discussion for this afternoon’s breakout sessions, and supported J. Brown’s notion to
have straw poll during JC meeting.
M. Ocedek stated that he used to serve on NSF family testing concept, to establish parameters
for putting products in various categories. This was useful to manufacturers in order to show
them what certification programs they needed to go through. Suggested there be a product
standard (what the product has to do to meet requirements) and a separate
document/discussion/appendix/Annex/policy re: how to ensure that these products to meet
these requirements.
T. Palkon noted that this is confusing to certifiers and may conflict with their internal policies.
A. Ciechanowski wants to develop a standard that will be useful and usable. Supports straw poll
for voting members. The bottom line is that there are either QC requirements or not.
o
Action Item: Proposed plan - Refute or resolve negatives, re-ballot
leaving out section 7.
J. Brown initiated a straw poll. Should QC requirements be a mandatory part of Standard 358-3
or not? Favor = 0. Opposed = 4 (M. Ocedek, K. Choquette, M. Clark, P. Spirowyc). Abstain = 7. B.
Powitz asked if there can be an expansion on the task group to work on this further and come
up with a recommendation for the JC. A. Ciechanowski noted that this would require additional
members on the current task group as the individuals right now are fine with including QC
requirements in the standard.
 Volunteers: Tom Palkon, Barry Pines, Joseph Malone, Marty Ocedek, Mark Clark, Kevin
Kalakay.
o
Action Item: L. Panoff will send out a doodle poll (include Bob) for a 1
hour call.
Task Group on Rework Materials (A. Ciechanowski, chair)
Background of this task group: There is a section in Standard 14 regarding the use of rework
material; companies want a certain amount of rework allowed in their product. This ballot was
specific to polyethylene; task group came up with specific language that would allow use of
rework up to 20%. The ballot resulted in one abstention with a comment re: rework of gas-end
materials. A note was added to the ballot to address that “this requirements does not apply to
polyethylene materials for gas end-use”.
J. Brown noted that rework material is all controlled, not recycled. Rework is from the same
plant with the same material designation. May be used to make a part; if OOS, can still use
material/regrind it and feed back into the supply chain.
B. Powitz read the definition of rework material from the standard.
J. Roach suggested that language be cleaned up before this goes back to ballot.
Page 7 of 19
P. Spirkowyc asked if the compound being blended already has rework in it and is being reblended with additional compound.
A. Ciechanowski proposed the plan to clean up language and then send this to ballot.
o
Action Item: Ballot will have language cleaned up and then be reballoted.
Task Group on Standard 24 (L. Kelley, chair)
J&B manufactures for manufactured homes. The original issue paper submitted was to update
the scope of Standard 24 to include manufactured homes (it currently covers plumbing products
used in RVs only). The current requirements are for ASSE 1051, NSF 24, or something else. J&B
has requested to drop this issue paper and disband task group with idea that it may always
reconvene in the future if needed. B. Powitz is in agreement and noted that Standard 24 needs a
review in terms of scope, etc. The task group should include plastics manufacturers that may not
already be involved.
o
Action Item: Issue paper will be dropped and task group disbanded with
ability to reactivate if needed in the future.
Task Group on Test Frequency (T. Palkon, chair)
In 2013, Tom had volunteered to lead this task group to resolve negative ballots for Table 2, 8
on test frequency. Task group work is now considered completed done as all of the changes
have since been incorporated into the standard. No further need to be active.
o
Action Item: Task group will disband at this time with ability to
reactivate if needed in the future.

Chapin, M. Mapili (chair), B. Donaldson
A. Ciechanowski made a motion to develop a task group to go over the definition of “start up”.
No definition currently in Standard 14. There is a lot of QC regarding start up, but no definition.
Definition would fit under Annex.
Volunteers to join task group: T. Palkon, J. Roach, P. Spirowyc, D. Nickelson, A. Leroux, M.
Huynh, J. Malaziar, N. Buzard, B. Chapin, A. Ciechanowski (chair)

at QC requirements for large size pipe fittings.
Volunteers to join task group: A. Ciechanowski (chair), T. Palkon, A. Leroux, P. Spirkowyc, M.
Huynh
o
Action Item: Form task group. L. Panoff to send a doodle poll for a 1
hour call.
IV. Biofilm Update
R. Herman provided a 20 minute PowerPoint presentation followed by a group discussion.
There is a Biofilm Protocol committee.
o
Action Item: Observers should contact JC Secretariat if they would like to
join this group.
V. Group Breakout Sessions
Manufacturers and regulators were split into two groups to discuss Standard 14. The groups will
continue their discussions and present to the larger Joint Committee after lunch.
LUNCH
VI. Group Breakout Presentations
The goal was to discuss Standard 14 and where improvements can be made within this
standard.
Notes from Regulators/UsersThe group reviewed Standard 14 annexes and appendices. The annexes are currently designated
as informative but the group feels these should be mandatory. This should be stated in the title
of the standard under NSF 14 (“with mandatory annex”) with a statement in the scope that the
annex is mandatory as well. The group proposed keeping metal/brass fittings in standard as is.
Notes from Manufacturers- (led by M. Ocedek)
Regarding having mandatory annexes: ASTM has mandatory annex and non-mandatory
appendices.
Page 10 of 19
Test requirements for new polyethylene pipe: The group suggests these are more related to
material function than to processing. Language changes can be submitted via issue papers. Per
B. Powitz this can be balloted as soon as it comes through.
Scope/purpose: This should state that the products protect property. It does not address issue
of performance requirements. Per B. Powitz, this scope/purpose discussion will require a task
group to adjust the language. Currently, the scope does not say anything geared toward end
users; hence, this is an opportunity for an annex for application that is basically for the end user.
Volunteers to join task group (on performance requirements in scope, protecting property, end
users): N. Kashefi, T. Palkon, G. Morgan, M. Ocedek (chair), J. Finch
Editorial change-Normative reference section: move these to mandatory annex in the back of the
document along with the definitions. 2.1 will be in the annex, not 2.0.
Motion: M. Ocedek; send to ballot
Second: J. Roach
Suggestion to reference end use marking in the document.
Per J. Evans, this component could be taken from the policies and added as an informative piece
in the document.
Volunteers to join task group: T. Palkon, M. Clark, N. Kashefi, N. Buzard, M. Ocedek (chair)
Discussion regarding keeping dezincification testing for brass fittings in Standard 14.
The Dezincification task group was deactivated last year, but is still available to reactivate if
needed.
Volunteers to join task group: N. Kashefi, G. Morgan, M. Clark, T. Palkon, J. Finch (chair)
Table this until next year.
o
Action Item: L. Panoff to send reminders to take a look at QC Tables
(manufacturers look at tables that reflect products they produce; if unhappy
with it submit paper to standards dept). Individuals may submit information
paper (FYI to the group, article) or issue paper (specific language to be
incorporated into the standard) depending on what they are submitting for
consideration. L. Panoff will post information paper and issue paper to group on
NOW.
Statement in document for alternative QC programs.
Should it include more detail about alternate QC for the programs? If individuals have an
alternative, please submit this via an issue paper for JC review.
Section 4, 5, 7.
These discuss both material and product requirements. It would be cleaner if they could be
segregated into separate sections. Suggestion to reformat these three sections; see if they can
separate material from product requirements. This is an editorial change per B. Powitz unless
there are clarification statements being added.

Volunteers to join task group: N. Kashefi (chair), M. Clark, M. Ocedek
VII. Meeting Administrative Issues
2015 Meeting Summary
B. Powitz recapped that the ultimate goal is to get Standard 14 more universally-recognized.
Plan to review and discuss Standard 24 further in 2016, with goal of expansion.
The group set the tentative date for the 2016 annual meeting during the week of July 20 th. B.
Powitz suggested this meeting potentially be 1 ½ days.
o Action Item: L. Panoff will send out doodle poll to JC for a meeting date during
the same week next year.

Issue Papers
Joint Committee Issue Paper
NSF Standard(s) Impacted: NSF/ANSI Standard 14
Background:
Provide a brief background statement indicating the cause and nature of concern, the impacts identified
relevant to public health, public understanding, etc, and any other reason why the issue should be
considered by the Committee. Reference as appropriate any specific section(s) of the standard(s) that are
related to the issue.
The intent of this deviation is to clarify the language of sections 5.1 and 5.4 with respect to
product dimensional requirements.
Critical Dimensions are currently defined in NSF 14 section 5.4. They are considered “critical” in
the sense that they are most likely to affect the fit, function, and performance of the product. NSF
has interpreted section 5.4 to exclude non-critical dimensions from the certification requirements
(i.e. only critical dimensions need to be verified). The proposed change in language will clearly
reflect this interpretation.
Recommendation:
Clearly state what action is needed: e.g., recommended changes to the standard(s) including the current
text of the relevant section(s) indicating deletions by use of strike-out and additions by highlighting or
underlining; e.g., reference of the issue to a Task Group for detailed consideration; etc.
See attachment.
 Clarify the existing language of NSF 14 section 5.1 with respect to product compliance.
 Modify section 5.4 to clarify the requirements for Critical Dimensions.
Supplementary Materials (photographs, diagrams, reports, etc.):
If not provided electronically, the submitter will be responsible to have sufficient copies to distribute to
committee members.
I hereby grant NSF International the non-exclusive, royalty free rights, including non-exclusive,
royalty free rights in copyright; in this item and I understand that I acquire no rights in any
publication of NSF International in which this item in this or another similar or analogous form is

Item No. PLAS 2016-1
(For NSF International internal use)
01/2016
5.1 General
Plastic piping system components and related materials shall comply with the physical and performance
requirements of the applicable standards as referenced in 2 of this Standard, and as outlined in 5.2
through 5.8.
5.2 Long-term strength of plastic pipe
Manufacturers of materials for use in plastic pipe for pressure applications shall submit evidence of longterm strength compliance in accordance with the requirements contained in 5.2.1. Listing in PPI Technical
Report Number 4 (TR-4) is acceptable evidence of hydrostatic design stress compliance. Manufacturers
of composite piping products for pressure applications shall submit evidence of maximum stress or
pressure rating compliance in accordance with the requirements of 5.2.2. Listing in PPI TR-4 is
acceptable evidence of maximum stress or pressure rating compliance.
5.2.1 Hydrostatic design stress
The maximum hydrostatic design stress, pressure design basis, or strength design basis of
thermoplastics shall be determined in accordance with PPI Technical Report Number 3 (TR-3).
Alternatively, the minimum required strength and design stress shall be determined in accordance with
ISO 12162 using data generated in accordance with ISO 9080. The maximum hydrostatic design stress
of thermosets shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D2992.
5.2.2 Maximum pressure rating
The maximum pressure rating of composite pipe products shall be determined in accordance with PPI
TR-3, except that test pressure shall be substituted for test stress in calculations of long-term strength.
The pressure versus time-to-rupture data shall exhibit a regression of strength with duration of loading,
similar to that exhibited by thermoplastic pipe of homogeneous wall construction.
5.3 Requirements for PVC resins
Resins intended for use in PVC fitting compounds shall have an inherent viscosity of at least 0.65 when
tested according to ASTM D1243. Resins intended for use in PVC pressure pipe compounds shall comply
with the applicable requirements of PPI TR-3.
NOTE – PPI TR-3 currently limits the inherent viscosity of PVC pressure pipe resin to a minimum of 0.88.
5.4 Critical dimensions
Plastic piping system components shall comply with the critical dimensions of the applicable standards as
referenced in 2 of this Standard. Compliance with the dimensional requirements of the applicable
standards referenced in 2 shall be determined by verifying the following critical dimensions:
o
For pipe and spigot ends of fittings, the critical dimensions shall be the minimum wall thickness,
outside diameter, and out-of-roundness.
o
For pipe intended to be used with insert-type fittings such as PE, PEX, PEX-AL-PEX or PE-ALPE, the critical dimensions shall be the minimum wall thickness, the maximum wall thickness and
outside diameter.
o
For socket or threaded fittings, the critical dimensions shall be the minimum wall thickness,
socket entrance diameter, bottom diameter, out-of-roundness, socket depth, threads (as
measured with thread gauges), and thread length.
For other fittings, critical dimensions shall be those specified in the normative reference standard.
5.5 PVC ingredients
Generic ingredients (titanium dioxides, calcium stearates, calcium carbonates, paraffinic hydrocarbon
waxes, and polyethylene waxes) intended for use in PVC compounds shall comply with PPI Technical
Report Number 2 (TR-2) Parts A.2, A.3, A.4, A.5 and A.6 respectively. Other ingredients intended for use
in PVC compounds shall comply with PPI TR-2 Part B.
5.6 Monitoring
Plastic piping system components and related materials shall be monitored, at a minimum of once
annually, to ensure compliance with the applicable physical and performance standards referenced in 2 of
this Standard. Cell classification monitoring by compound suppliers shall satisfy the requirements for
purchased compounds or in-plant compounds that are dependent formulation transfers.
5.7 Chlorine resistance – dependent transfer listing requirements
In order to qualify a pipe made from a material that already has a chlorine resistance classification, the
following minimum requirements shall be met for each pipe which is comprised of a different color in the
polymer matrix yet made from that classified material and shall be referred to as a Dependent Transfer
Listing.
NOTE – This requirement does not apply to changes in color of an external, coextruded polymer layer which
is separate and distinct from the pipe polymer matrix.
5.7.1 Solid wall pipe with optional inner or outer polymeric layer
– three (3) data points at one hoop stress level at one of the temperature conditions as for the
original data set;
– two (2) data points at a second hoop stress level at least 80 psi lower than the first stress
level and at the same temperature conditions as for the first stress level;
– the 95% lower prediction limit (LPL) shall be calculated for the original material data at these
temperatures/stress conditions;
– all five (5) data points (failure times) shall meet or exceed the LPL for that condition.
5.7.2 Pipe with middle polymeric layer
– five (5) data points at one hoop stress level at the highest temperature conditions as for the
original data set;
– the 95% LPL shall be calculated for the original material data at these temperatures/stress
conditions;
– all five (5) data points (failure times) shall meet or exceed the LPL for that condition.
5.8 Fittings and valves
Fittings and valves made from copper alloys containing more than 15% zinc by weight shall be resistant
to dezincification and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and meet the following requirements:
5.8.1 Dezincification resistance
5.8.1.1 Sampling
Three test specimens selected at random shall be conditioned to standard laboratory conditions of
73 ± 3.6 °F (23 ± 2 °C) prior to testing.
5.8.1.2 Testing
Test specimens shall be tested according to ISO 6509 “Corrosion of metal and alloys – Determination of
dezincification resistance of brass”.
5.8.1.3 Requirements
The maximum depth of dezincification shall not exceed 200 μm. Failure of one of the three specimens
tested is cause for retest of three additional specimens. Failure of one specimen in the retest shall
constitute failure in the test.
5.8.2 Stress corrosion resistance
5.8.2.1 Sampling
Three test specimens selected at random shall be conditioned to standard laboratory conditions prior to
testing.
5.8.2.2 Testing
Test specimens shall be tested according to ASTM B858 “Standard Test Method for Ammonia Vapor Test
for Determining Susceptibility to Stress Corrosion Cracking in Copper Alloys” or ISO 6957 “Copper alloys
– Ammonia test for stress corrosion resistance” in a test solution of pH 9.5.
5.8.2.3 Requirements
There shall be no evidence of cracking when viewed with a microscope with a minimum magnification of
10X, with the exception of surface cracking. Surface cracking is defined as small imperfections that do not
penetrate beyond the immediate surface of the part. For verification, the outer surface of the specimen
shall be cross sectioned, polished with a wire brush to remove any oxide scale and then examined under
a metallographic microscope for evidence of surface cracking.
Failure of one of the three specimens tested is cause for retest of three additional specimens. Failure of
one specimen in the retest shall constitute failure in the test.
NOTE – The requirements for resistance to dezincification and resistance to stress corrosion cracking are
intended to establish a minimum level of performance for products intended for use in potable water
systems. These requirements are not a guarantee for prevention of erosion or corrosion.
NSF Standard(s) Impacted:
14
Background:
Currently NSF 14 does not address the frequency of marking verifications. Due to the requirements of some
standards, it became necessary to create a frequency table identical to the performance requirements
tables.
