As defined by the Regulations Governing Committee Projects, the Technical Committee (TC) is the consensus body responsible for the development and revision of any document or documents emanating from a Technical Committee Project (such as the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes). All persons wishing to participate on a TC must complete an application for Technical Committee Membership (see link below), including a resume of qualifications. Once an application (and resume) has been received by IAPMO, it is forwarded to the Standards Council Secretary for consideration by the Standards Council.
An important function of the Standards Council is to maintain a balance of interest classifications on the TC.
Those classifications are:
| Manufacturer |
Labor |
| Enforcing Authority |
Installer/Maintainer |
| Research/Standards/Testing Laboratory |
Special Expert |
| Consumer |
User |
Once appointed to the TC, each member is subject to annual review and reappointment. It is the responsibility of each member to participate and act in accordance with the Regulations Governing Committee Projects.
The rosters (linked below) are divided into three columns: Name, Representation, and Classification. Committee members are arranged by classification for ease of identification.
For a more detailed explanation of responsibilities of the Technical Committees, please refer to Section 3 of the Regulations Governing Committee Projects.
