Introduced in Los Angeles in 1928 and officially released as Uniform Plumbing Code in 1945, the UPC is developed to govern the installation and inspection of plumbing systems as a means of promoting the health, safety and welfare of the public. Later published by IAPMO in 1967, the CMU provides the same governance for mechanical systems (HVAC, combustion, exhaust, refrigeration). Developed and then republished at the end of each three-year code cycle, the UPC and CMU are designed to provide consumers with plumbing, heating and mechanical systems that meet all applicable standards while allowing room for innovation and new technologies.

IAPMO uses a consensus development process accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), bringing together the largest assembly of plumbing and mechanical experts in the world at its annual conference on education and business and technical committee meetings, allowing anyone – members and non-members – to lend their voice to proposed changes to the code. The 2024 editions of UPC and CMU will mark the eighth time these codes have been developed in this way.

IAPMO urges its members and other interested parties to engage in the process to ensure the effectiveness of safeguarding the health, safety and welfare of the public through the fair and balanced development of its codes. and standards. Installers, plumbing and mechanical managers, the construction industry, engineers and manufacturers all benefit from a cooperative effort in code development.

In accordance with the plans of the IAPMO Regulation Steering Committee, anyone interested can register for the UPC and CMU technical committee meetings.
