Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Minimum
				Standards. Materials listed in this Section are applicable to more than one
				Chapter. Material requirements for specific systems and fixtures are noted in
				the specific Chapters. Materials listed in this code shall conform at least to
				the standards cited when used in the construction, installation, alteration, or
				repair of any part of a plumbing and drainage system, except that the plumbing
				official shall allow the extension, addition, or relocation of existing soil,
				waste or vent pipes with materials of like grade(Q), as
				permitted by this code.
B. Use of
				Materials. Where more than one standard is listed, the material shall conform
				to at least one of the standards cited opposite it. Its use shall be further
				governed by the requirements imposed in other chapters of the code. Materials
				not included in the table shall be used only as provided for in §303. A of this
				code. Materials shall be free of manufacturing defects or damage, however
				occasioned, which would, or would tend to, render such materials defective,
				unsanitary, or otherwise improper to accomplish the purpose of this
				code.
C. Specifications for
				Materials. Standard specifications for general materials for plumbing
				installations are listed in Table 303 of this code, with specific material
				specifications listed elsewhere in this Part. Products conforming at least to
				any one of the specifications listed for a given material shall be considered
				acceptable.
1. Abbreviations used in Table
				303 of this code, and with the specific materials as listed elsewhere in this
				Part refer to standards or specifications as identified below. Addresses and
				more information for these organizations are listed in
