IAPMO is seeking volunteers to participate on two technical committees working toward the development of the 2024 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC). 

IAPMO has published ANSI/CAN/IAPMO/ISO 30500:2019, Non-Sewered Sanitation Systems — Prefabricated Inte-grated Treatment Units — General Safety and Performance Requirements for Design and Testing as an identical National Adoption Standard for both the United States and Canada. 

H₂O Accepted is a new initiative of the HIA-C, designed to showcase the advantages of water-based (hydronic) commercial building space heating and cooling technologies.

Ferguson joined the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation (IWSH), governments, and NGOs in declaring: Every person, no matter where they live in the in the United States, should have access to safe sanitation. This commitment is to help the 1.4 million Americans who lack access to safe, reliable sanitation and the hope, dignity and health that it brings.

The free IAPMO Codes app also serves as a vehicle to contact the technical staff about any code questions, apply for technical committees or request information about the code development process.

Every three years the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials publishes a revised and updated version of its signature codes — the Uniform Plumbing Code and the Uniform Mechanical Code. 

IAPMO introduced the latest upgrade to the Building Efficiency System Tool (BEST) software, available for download at www.iapmo.org/hiac.

The 2017 Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard (WE•Stand) was the culmination of a 10-year effort to develop codified water-efficiency provisions that would result in a 20% reduction in water use from the minimum code requirements contained in the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
