Federal rules would update the definition of 'showerheads' and exclude safety models.
This bill would change how the government defines 'showerheads' in federal energy laws. It would update the definition to match a specific industry standard and make sure safety showerheads are not included. This means homeowners and manufacturers would see new rules for standard showerheads, and the Department of Energy would need to update its regulations.
Today, federal law defines 'showerhead' without directly referencing a specific industry standard and may include safety showerheads. If this bill passes, the definition would align with ASME A112.18.1-2024. It would also explicitly exclude safety showerheads, requiring the Department of Energy to update its rules within 180 days.
