I recently attended the second round of meetings to discuss proposed changes to the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) model codes – Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) on behalf of ASA and HARDI.
These model codes are considered for adoption as regulations by state and local government agencies across the U.S. The UPC and UMC Technical Committees reviewed public comments received in response to the Technical Committees’ initial positions taken on proposals submitted in 2021. I am happy to say that ASA provided a strong voice at the hearings both through direct public testimony and through significant collaboration with other associations throughout the supply chain, both prior to and during the meetings, ensuring our positions on key issues were understood and in a majority of cases approved by the Technical Committees.
