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.
