 The RAS, Restroom
Association (Singapore) set another new milestone when it jointly launched
the Singapore’s first smart restroom product certification with the
Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), at the 13th LOO (Let’s Observe Ourselves)
Awards held on 19 November to commemorate World Toilet Day. This
certification will not only promote more smart products to meet the
required standards, but will also facilitate the evaluation process for
business owners and operators in the adoption of smart restroom products.
Over the years, we
have been receiving enquiries from business owners and operators, seeking
recommendations on reliable and durable smart products. As we progress
towards a smart nation, it is timely for us to have a list of reliable
and durable smart products. Since we introduced the new
Happy Toilet criterion in April last year, we had been mulling over
the prospect of a restroom product certification scheme, to encourage
product companies to participate and meet the required standards. We are
pleased to receive the support from the SGBC and their expertise to
certify these products. We strongly believe this new initiative will set
a new milestone for our restroom environment to scale to greater heights
towards a smart restroom environment.
As our restroom
environment evolves to a smart restroom environment, our committed
business owners and operators are actively adopting smart solutions, our
cleaning attendants are actively learning and upgrading their skills. All
public users should therefore not be lagging behind, to be gracious and
considerate. All stakeholders need to play their part. Like what we say,
“LOO” is not only another word for restroom but can also be
an acronym for “Let’s Observe Ourselves”! If every one
of us can observe ourselves to play our roles well, we can truly live in
a smart restroom environment!
