August 25, 2025

As we wrap up the first half of 2025, August is a great time to review worldwide governmental activities about topics in the mechanical and plumbing industries. Throughout this period, global governments have been notably active on issues related to chemicals, household equipment, HVAC equipment, mechanical systems, plumbing products, protective equipment, and water heating appliances. I have curated the policy changes to save you time and keep you informed and ahead of the curve.

What can you do?

Keep track of agency activities through RSS feeds, government newsletters, and websites. Or, as always, simplify your life and call me at Regulosity. We can help.
