The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO®) has extended the deadline for volunteers wishing to participate on two technical committees working toward the development of the 2015 editions of the Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code® (USPSHTC) and Uniform Solar Energy and Hydronics Code™ (USEHC). The deadline to submit an application has been extended to June 25.
The USPSHTC Technical Committee and USEHC Technical Committee each seek members in the following categories: Manufacturer, User, Installer/Maintainer, Labor, Research/Standards/Testing Laboratory, Enforcing Authority, Consumer, and Special Expert. These committees are assembled in accordance with the Regulations Governing Consensus Development of the USPSHTC and USEHC and the Guide for the Conduct of Participants in the IAPMO Codes and Standards Development Process. These documents may be viewed at IAPMO’s Code Development Web page. Within
them, prospective technical committee participants can find information on the scope and general guidelines for conduct of these committees.
IAPMO first adopted the USEHC and USPSHTC in September 1976. The provisions of these codes apply to the erection, installation, alteration, repair, relocation, replacement, addition to or maintenance of any solar energy, hydronic heating/cooling, swimming pool, spa or hot tub system. The 2009 and 2012 editions of these codes were produced using a consensus process similar to the one used to develop the Uniform Plumbing Code® and Uniform Mechanical Code®, which are designated as American National Standards.
Anyone interested in serving on one of these committees can complete the application online at the Code Development Web page.
