ICC and its Members Focus on the Future of Plumbing Safety
Historically, plumbing has played a vital role in the development of civilization and the public's health overall. World Plumbing Day is an international event on March 11 celebrating the important role plumbing plays in the health and safety of modern society.
The International Code Council and its Members, support public safety and sanitation along with energy and water efficiency through the advancement of codes and standards. ICC focuses on code adoptions, often working at the grass roots level to assist governmental bodies to adopt the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for the first time. ICC also supports its Members and others in the adoption and understanding of codes, standards and related documents. ICC developed the new International Swimming Pool and Spa Code and is working in cooperation with Underwriters Laboratories to develop a new ANSI standard—Devices to Control and Operate Automatic Landscape Irrigation Systems. The standard will ensure the basic safety and function of landscape irrigation controllers.
While celebrating the laudable achievements of the industry, ICC also looks forward to the substantial work still to be done. ICC is proud of the role it plays in the PMG industry over many decades of work including by its legacy founding organizations. ICC is committed to playing a vital role in advancing the goals of the industry. |
