HR 4593 United States House · 119th Congress

SHOWER Act

The SHOWER Act updates the federal definition of "showerhead" in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to align with the ASME A112.18.1-2024 industry standard, while explicitly excluding safety showerheads. This change clarifies which showerhead products must comply with federal energy efficiency regulations, directly affecting manufacturers and sellers of standard showerheads. The bill requires the Department of Energy to revise relevant regulations within 180 days of enactment to match this new definition. As a result, safety showerheads will no longer be subject to the same energy efficiency standards as typical residential showerheads.
