American Supply Association Launches Product Data Standard Project to Advance Digital Transformation


The plumbing and PVF industry is undergoing a rapid shift toward eCommerce, ERP platforms and digital procurement systems that demand structured, reliable product data. Without a shared standard, manufacturers and distributors have built and translated data manually, often with inconsistent results. In response, the American Supply Association is launching the industry’s first Product Data Standard Project.

The PDS Project creates a shared framework for product data management, ensuring manufacturers and distributors can exchange consistent, high-quality information. This includes standardizing how critical product attributes such as dimensions, materials, finishes, descriptions, UPCs and performance data are formatted, maintained and integrated into business systems. Available now, the standard covers a wide range of plumbing SKUs with consistent, validated attribute definitions.

The standard is available in the following product categories:
• Full-line plumbing
Water heaters
• Pipe, tubing and related components
• Tools
• Rough plumbing accessories

Each category has tailored attributes and formatting rules. Companies can access official documentation and sample column guides directly from the ASA website. Learn more here.
