The IAPMO Codes app is available in both the iOS and Google Play app stores.

Users are able to make annotations and recordings, view the current code development timeline and stay informed by receiving automatic notifications for breaking news, upcoming committee meetings, proposal submission deadlines and much more.

The codes now available for purchase and use in the app include:

• 2015 and 2018 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC);
• 2015 and 2018 Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC);

The 2021 UPC and UMC will become available on the app once they are published early next year.

“The Codes app will provide jurisdictions everywhere an additional tool to use in the field,” said Hugo Aguilar, IAPMO’s vice president of codes and standards development. “This added service benefits inspectors, contractors, installers and homeowners, as they will be getting direct access to the IAPMO technical team for any code questions and be engaged in the code development process. The app will allow users to view their purchased codes in offline mode while traveling in an airplane or in rural areas with poor internet connection. The IAPMO Codes app will fill the gap between the industry and codes development so that together we can improve the lives of many while preserving the health and welfare of everyone.”
