October 2006 Postal Regulation Change Requires New Mailbox Type

The STD-4C, which applies to all Wall-Mounted Centralized Mail Receptacles, replaces the previous STD-4B+ regulation for Receptacles / Apartment / House Mail, and became mandatory in October, 2006 for all new construction and major renovation projects.

Centralized mail delivery equipment can be in the form of any "clustered" type mailbox – including free-standing, pedestal-mounted cluster box units (CBU), or other cluster mailboxes mounted in a wall, kiosk or shelter.
