For more than 80 years, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) has been protecting the public’s health and safety. With the proper codes in place, communities can effectively protect their residents by ensuring clean water supplies and properly installed cooling and heating systems.
IAPMO utilizes an open consensus process in the development of their flagship Uniform Plumbing Code and Uniform Mechanical Code. These codes are established through scientific research, debate, and analysis, strengthening our position at the forefront of the plumbing and mechanical industries.
For the first time ever, professionals can access up-to-date Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes along with state and International custom codes through the citation dynamic interface that makes management of change effortless.
