7、I Series 16000 Professional Qualifications Standard vIssued: June, 2012Professional Qualifications Standard for the Plumbing InspectorfoReWoRdThis foreword shall not be considered part of the standard; however, it is offered to provide background information.In 1987, the American Society of Sanitary
8、 Engineerings Board of Directors recognized the need to develop Professional Qualifications Standards for the plumbing and mechanical industry. Since that time, ASSE has developed a number of Professional Qualifications Standards, including the Series 5000, Cross-Connection Control Professional Qual
9、ifications Standard, and the Series 6000, Professional Qualifications Standard for Medical Gas Systems Personnel. Both of these important documents, now each considered the industry standard, were necessary to allow the Authority Having Jurisdiction to have nationally recognized standards, developed
10、 in an open consensus process by all industry stakeholders, to use in ensuring that individuals working on these critically important systems possess the knowledge and experience required to successfully perform the installation, testing, maintenance and inspection needed within our industry.With th
11、e development of the ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 16000, Professional Qualifications Standard for the Plumbing Inspector, and its companion document, the ASSE Series 17000, Professional Qualifications Standard for the Mechanical Inspector, the Society is again leading the way and raising the bar for the p
12、lumbing and mechanical industry. For the first time, these important new standards spell out the experience, education, training and general knowledge requirements for the inspectors who play a critical role in protecting the health and safety of both the general public and the industry itself.Our e
13、ver changing industry is affected by innovation with the constant development of new materials, systems and installation methods. The economy also plays a large role in funding for the education of public inspectors and the move toward third-party and multi-craft inspectors. With these industry deve
14、lopments, it was essential that a national standard for plumbing inspectors be developed. That need has been fulfilled with the ASSE 16000.Recognition is made of the time volunteered by members of the working group and of the industry members who participated in the development of this standard.Comp
15、liance with this standard does not imply acceptance by any code body or Authority Having Jurisdiction.This voluntary consensus standard was promulgated in accordance with procedures developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).vi ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 16000 Professional Qualificati
