Development Advances for Uniform Plumbing, Mechanical Codes During Committee Meetings
IAPMO recently completed Technical Committee Meetings toward the proposed 2027 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code and Uniform Mechanical Code, in-development American National Standards governing the installation and maintenance of plumbing and mechanical systems nationwide.
During the May 6-9 meetings in Los Angeles, California the two committees reviewed and acted on a total of 330 public comments submitted in response to previous proposals to amend the 2024 editions of the Uniform Codes. Due to compelling discussions on a variety of topics, the committees requested the formation of the following task groups for development of the 2030 editions of the codes:
- UPC Heat Pump Water Heater
- UPC Grease Interceptors
- UPC Construction Practices for Potable Water Systems
- UPC Ecological Sanitation Systems
- UMC Enclosed parking garages and gas detectors
In accordance with IAPMO’s American National Standards Institute accredited Regulations Governing Committee Projects, balloting of the UPC and UMC technical committees will conclude June 16. The report on comments for each document will be created from these balloted actions and made available in early August. All consensus body actions will be published in the ROC.
