INTERNATIONAL ASSN. OF PLUMBING AND MECHANICAL OFFICIALS

The International Association of Plumbing & Mechanical Officials community of plumbing experts plays a vital public health role in assuring access to clean water and sanitation.

We like to say we live by the code. A code that says that water is safe, that plumbing systems are strong and that our association is even stronger.

The strength of our association brings all sectors of the plumbing industry together -- contractors, engineers, manufacturers and researchers -- rooted in a common belief that access to clean water is a fundamental right.

Our consensus-based model code development process opens ourselves up to the genius of the entire community--and to the sunlight of the communities we serve through our open and transparent process.

In addition to model code development, IAPMO is North America’s premier mechanical and plumbing product certification agency, providing industry-leading education, personnel certification, product testing and certification, building product evaluation and a quality assurance program.

Our non-profit foundation, the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation (IWSH), helps develop local plumbing infrastructure in parts of the world that have no piping, including communities right here in the US.
