IAPMO is seeking volunteers to participate on two technical committees working toward the development of the 2024 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC).
The National Advisory Council (NAC) released a report recommending that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) partner with the International Code Council to raise awareness of codes’ mitigation benefits.
IAPMO has published ANSI/CAN/IAPMO/ISO 30500:2019, Non-Sewered Sanitation Systems — Prefabricated Inte-grated Treatment Units — General Safety and Performance Requirements for Design and Testing as an identical National Adoption Standard for both the United States and Canada.
The free IAPMO Codes app also serves as a vehicle to contact the technical staff about any code questions, apply for technical committees or request information about the code development process.
Every three years the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials publishes a revised and updated version of its signature codes — the Uniform Plumbing Code and the Uniform Mechanical Code.
The 2017 Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard (WE•Stand) was the culmination of a 10-year effort to develop codified water-efficiency provisions that would result in a 20% reduction in water use from the minimum code requirements contained in the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
The Division of Codes and Standards, which is part of the state’s Department of Community Affairs, adopted the NSPC with state-specific amendments on Sept. 3.
