North America: IAPMO in the news

The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO^®) returns to ‘The Last Frontier’ for the first time since 2000 to hold its 88th annual Education and Business Conference, September 24-28, in Anchorage, AK. Keynoted by four-time Iditarod winner and cancer survivor Lance Mackey, and highlighted by the Association Technical Meeting Convention toward development of the 2018 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC^®) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC^®), the conference will provide significant opportunities for both education and business. In June, IAPMO and the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association (PHCC) executed an agreement transferring ownership of the National Standard Plumbing Code^™ (NSPC) to IAPMO. The transfer encompasses all editions of the NSPC, including the 2018 edition.
