Rainwater Collection System Design and Installation Consensus Committee
(IS-RCSDI)

Rainwater Collection System Standard Project

Background and Scope

ICC, as an ANSI-accredited standards developer, provided notice of the intent to develop an ANSI consensus standard for the design and installation of rainwater harvesting systems through the ANSI Project Notification System (PINS).  The scope of the first standard to undergo development, ICC-805, was described as follows in the filing:

"Applies to the design, installation and maintenance of rainwater collection systems intended to collect, store, treat, distribute, and utilize rainwater for potable and nonpotable applications."

Rainwater Collection System Design and Installation Consensus Committee (IS-RCSDI)

The Rainwater Collection System Design Consensus Committee (IS-RCSDI) was appointed by the ICC Board of Directors in collaboration with CSA and has primary responsibility for the development of the standard.

All standard development is subject to ICC's ANSI Approved standard consensus procedures, Council Policy # 12 and CSA’s standard development procedures.  All meetings of the IS-RCSDI are open to attendance and participation by the public.

• See Resource Documents below for a current committee roster.

Working groups may be formed to address particular topics within the standard and IS-RCSDI committee membership is not required to join any such group. Interested parties should contact the ICC staff secretariat Jessie Sorensen at jsorensen@iccsafe.org or the CSA staff secretariat Monica Khalil at monica.khalil@csagroup.org to be notified of future meetings and developments related to this project or signup for the Interested Parties List.  ICC or CSA membership is not required to participate.
