Standard Practice for Sustainable Laundry Best Management Practices (Withdrawn 2022)
SCOPE
1.1 Purpose—The purpose of this practice is to identify and define sustainable laundry Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are used in commercial laundry facilities to reduce their impact on the environment.
1.2 It is recommended that users rely on professional judgment informed by both environmental expertise and specific knowledge of the intended use of this practice. This practice provides instruction on interpretation of the data obtained. Interpretation of the data results in a determination of whether a laundry implements enough BMPs to be certified as complying with the requirements of this practice.
1.3 The users of this practice include laundry professionals and inspectors who possess a broad understanding of environmental issues related to the operations and maintenance of laundry facilities.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
