ASSE International

ASSE professional qualifications standards set minimum education and experience requirements for professionals who test, install, inspect, and maintain building systems. These standards are developed and revised through industry consensus under the ANSI Accredited standards development process. The ASSE suite of professional qualifications standards includes those for backflow prevention, fire protection, medical gas, water quality, infection control, and rainwater harvesting all supporting ASSE’s motto, “Prevention Rather Than Cure.” Join ASSE International and get involved today at https://lnkd.in/g_WTnzWe.

Well-deserved recognition for GP Russ Chaney, former IAPMO CEO, who was honored with the prestigious ANSI Chairman's Award at last night’s ceremony. This special honor recognizes his contributions to the standardization community, including his role in developing the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). After joining IAPMO in 1995, Russ spearheaded the advancement of the UPC achieving ANSI accreditation in 2000, and making it the first plumbing code to be designated as an American National Standard. He continued to champion standardization efforts, leading IAPMO to achieve ANSI - American National Standards Institute Audited Designator status and contribute to the development of an international water efficiency standard. It was truly moving to witness the standing ovation he received last night, a clear demonstration of the high regard and admiration he has earned throughout his career. Congratulations, Russ!
