IAPMO India, responding to the enormous demand and growth of its services within the plumbing domain, has focused efforts to better serve the industry by also incorporating mechanical and product certification. The combination of these three core competencies together — plumbing, mechanical, and product certification — completes the circle for an all-encompassing system combining state of the art codes and standards with a certification body developed to list products to those necessary performance standards.  

Through the dedicated efforts of numerous experts within the mechanical HVAC-R industry, IAPMO India successfully developed the Uniform Mechanical Code – India (UMC-I), first published in early 2012. This document has been recognized by industry leaders as a growing world-class standard originating from India. UMC-I underwent revisions in 2017, 2019 and 2024

Code-based training and education programs for both plumbing and mechanical disciplines are well-established and widely accessible across educational and training institutions in India. Plumbing Education to Employment (PEEP) and the Mechanical Education to Employment Program (MEEP) are actively offered in many institutions. These cutting-edge curricula were developed to standardize the industry and equip workers with skills aligned with global best practices.

In connection with these publications, IAPMO’s globally recognized mark of conformity and certification program is now being offered, as well. Designers, engineers, contractors and government officials are often encouraged to look for a product’s listing mark of conformity from an ISO Guide 17065-accredited, reputable third-party listing agency to ensure that the product has undergone the necessary testing, evaluation, and engineering review for safe usage by society. In the great majority of countries around the world, nearly every major plumbing manufacturer lists its products to a product performance standard. In just its first year of service, IAPMO India’s certification program has already become the trusted, and endorsed, mark for plumbing and mechanical products within India.

In addition to these services, IAPMO India also complements its programs with top-notch engineers for certified audits and inspections, consultancy services for energy and water auditing, and as expert resources in the plumbing, mechanical, and certification domain.
