IAPMO R&T was started in 1936 as a third-party listing agency specializing in plumbing and mechanical products. IAPMO R&T is accredited to certify products that meet the criteria of the Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, Uniform Solar Energy Code, Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code and other nationally recognized codes and standards in North America. IAPMO R&T is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Standards Council of Canada (SCC) to act as independent and authoritative conformity assessment body to operate a material and product listing and labeling (certification) system and is accepted globally by the Authorities Having Jurisdiction. The product listing (certification) process includes initial and ongoing product testing, a periodic inspection on current production of listed products and making available a published report of the listed manufacturer and specific products that contain specific information regarding the material or product conformity to applicable standards and has been found safe for use in a specific manner. IAPMO Marks of Conformity are widely recognized and represent the highest degree of integrity in showing compliance with established codes and standards including: File:MarksOfConformitySmall.jpg Recognizing the growing importance of water conservation, IAPMO R&T provides certification for the United States Environmental Protection Agency WaterSense program, as well as certification to the Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement.
