IAPMO Introduces WDC-Pro to Streamline Multi-Family Design
IAPMO® has launched WDC-Pro, a web-based tool designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of water pipe sizing for multi-family, high-rise, and residential buildings.
Ontario, Calif. — Manufacturers of swimming pool pumps can now fulfill all of their product certification needs through IAPMO R&T — a third-party certification body fully accredited by the American National Standards Institute to do so.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has granted recognition to IAPMO R&T for the third-party certification of swimming pool pumps to the ENERGY STAR® product labeling system. This recognition provides a perfect complement to IAPMO R&T’s ANSI-accredited certification for pool pumps and other materials/components used in swimming pools.
“ENERGY STAR® certification adds yet another dimension to the comprehensive menu of services IAPMO R&T can already offer to the manufacturers of pool pumps,” said GP Russ Chaney, CEO of The IAPMO Group. “Now those manufacturers can certify and market the energy-saving capabilities of their products with the same great customer service and highly respected mark of conformity IAPMO R&T provides.”
IAPMO R&T, North America’s premier plumbing and mechanical product certification agency, has for decades provided certification services to manufacturers of swimming pool and spa products. IAPMO R&T’s Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code® (USPSHTC) marks of conformity tell consumers and inspectors alike that the products bearing them meet the minimum standards that govern their use in the United States and Canada.
