scope:

This Standard establishes material, mechanical, electrical, marking, and testing requirements for bathtubs/ whirlpool bathtubs with doors that are made water tight by the use of a pressure seal. It addresses the functional performance and physical characteristics for a pressure sealed door of a bathtub/whirlpool bathtub. The door is intended to allow for entry into the fixture when the tub is empty and to maintain water tightness when the tub is full. The use of alternate materials or methods is permitted, provided the proposed material and method comply with the performance requirements and intent of this Standard.
