Get Involved
IAPMO encourages its members and other interested parties to be involved in the code development process. Designed to ensure the proper installation of plumbing systems, the NSPC provides local and state governments, code administrative bodies and the industry with a modern code to protect public health, safety and welfare.
“The NSPC continues to serve the plumbing industry with minimum requirements that reflect current practices,” said NSPC Chairman Thomas Pitcherello. “A wide range of diverse interest groups from contractors, inspectors, manufacturers, engineers, and labor have contributed to the development of the NSPC, making it a vital state code for New Jersey and the testing code authority for master plumbers and inspectors since 1977.”
