PMI Releases Version 1.1. of Product Category Rule (PCR) Guidance Document for Kitchen and Bath Vessel Fixtures
Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), in collaboration with its members, has issued version 1.1. of the Product Category Rule (PCR) Guidance Document for Kitchen and Bath Vessel Fixtures. The guidance document was developed to help program operators apply consistent rules and calculations when developing PCRs for these fixtures, and has been distributed to them for their use.
The document was created by PMI’s Sustainability Task Group. Comprised of PMI manufacturing members, the task group is part of PMI’s Water Efficiency and Sustainability Committee. The purpose and scope of this committee is to develop and implement strategy to influence public policy, legislation, regulation, certification, listing, and labeling related to the sustainability and water efficiency of plumbing products. The task group plans to develop additional guidance documents for other plumbing products.
