The Plumbing Committee was appointed by the Building Research Board in February 1942 to prepare a report with the following terms of reference:
"(i) To review existing scientific information and practice in this country and abroad on plumbing (including the underground drainage forming part of normal building works), with particular reference to the supply of cold and hot water in buildings and the removal of soil, rainwater, and waste therefrom.
(ii) To make recommendations for practice in post-war building.
(iii) To make such recommendations for further research as may suggest themselves in considering (i) and (ii)."
