Regulations on Mobile Toilets

The regulations on mobile toilets are mainly reflected in property management and standards for specific types of toilets, as follows:

In terms of property management, relevant regulations are primarily based on the relevant clauses of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China. Property service companies bear significant responsibilities. They are required to properly repair, maintain, and clean public sanitation facilities within residential communities, including mobile toilets, in accordance with the terms of property service contracts. This means that property service companies should regularly inspect the facilities of mobile toilets to ensure their normal operation, such as promptly repairing damaged door locks, water tanks, and other components; and carrying out daily cleaning work to keep the interior of the toilets clean and hygienic, avoiding the accumulation of odors and stains. If property service companies fail to fulfill these repair and maintenance obligations, resulting in aggravated sanitation issues, such as long-term non-functioning of toilets affecting residents' lives, or losses caused by the spread of diseases due to poor sanitation conditions in toilets, property service companies shall bear corresponding compensation liabilities.

Regarding standards for specific types of mobile toilets, there are specialized norms for waterless sanitary toilets (commonly known as eco-friendly toilets, ecological toilets, or mobile toilets in China), namely GB/T18092 - 2000 Waterless Sanitary Toilets, which came into effect on October 1, 2000. These toilets are suitable for places without water supply and drainage systems, such as some remote outdoor scenic spots and temporary large-scale event venues. This standard provides detailed regulations on the design, construction, and use of waterless sanitary toilets to ensure that they can still meet basic sanitation needs and achieve the goals of environmental protection and practicality without traditional water supply and drainage systems. For example, in terms of fecal treatment, it stipulates reasonable treatment methods and storage requirements to prevent fecal overflow and environmental pollution; and in terms of ventilation, there are corresponding standards to ensure air circulation inside the toilets and reduce odors.
