SHOWER Act

Sponsored By: Representative Fry, Russell [R-SC-7]

Passed House

Summary

Aligns the federal definition of “showerhead” with the ASME A112.18.1-2024 standard and explicitly excludes safety shower showerheads. The measure amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to adopt the ASME definition for showerheads while carving out safety shower showerheads so they are not treated as showerheads under that law. It directs the Department of Energy to revise its regulations within 180 days to match the new definition and trigger any regulatory updates needed to reflect that exclusion.

New showerhead definition, safety showers excluded

This bill would change the federal meaning of "showerhead." It would use the definition in ASME A112.18.1-2024. Safety-shower heads used for emergencies would not count as showerheads. The Department of Energy would update its rules within 180 days after enactment. This would change which products must meet federal showerhead standards for makers, stores, and buyers.
