Verify a landscape irrigation sprinkler or emitter product's compliance claim against the ASABE/ICC 802 Landscape Irrigation Sprinkler and Emitter Standard before specifying it on a job that references the standard.

Steps

1. Identify that ASABE/ICC 802 is a jointly developed American National Standard (published under both ASABE and ICC identifiers), so it may be cited by either organization's name in specs or code references.
2. Pull the current edition of ASABE/ICC 802 from ICC's digital codes platform or ASABE's technical library rather than relying on an older cached edition.
3. Confirm whether the specifying document (municipal code, HOA spec, or design spec) is referencing this standard by its ASABE number, ICC number, or both, to avoid missing the citation during a document search.
4. Check the manufacturer's test documentation or third-party lab report showing the specific sprinkler/emitter model was evaluated against the standard's performance criteria.
5. Where the standard is referenced in a local plumbing/irrigation code adoption, confirm which edition year the jurisdiction has actually adopted, since code adoption often lags the standard's current publication.
