Mokena, Illinois — ASSE International is seeking working group members to support the update of ASSE 19000, Hydronic Systems Professional Qualifications Standard.
ASSE professional qualification standard working group members will assist the Professional Qualifications Standards Committee (PQSC) in the continued development of this American National Standard. The working group will operate in accordance with ASSE’s accredited procedures for standards development: IAPMO/ASSE PP-1 (Policies and Procedures for Consensus Development of American National Standards).
“The subject standard provides uniform minimum requirements for qualified installers and designers of hydronic heating and cooling systems, as well as for qualified installers of solar water heaters,” said Terry Burger, IAPMO’s senior director of Standards Development.
The first working group meetings will be held virtually on Feb. 3. Subsequent meetings will be held on a cadence of every 3-4 weeks.
