7、September, 2012ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 17000 Professional Qualifications Standard vIssued: September, 2012FOREWORDThis foreword shall not be considered part of the standard. However, it is offered to provide background information.In 1987, the American Society of Sanitary Engineerings Board of Direct
8、ors 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 Qualifications Standard, and the
9、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 in an open consensus process
10、 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 the development of the ASSE/IAP
11、MO/ANSI Series 17000, Professional Qualifications Standard for the Mechanical Inspector, and its companion document, the ASSE Series 16000, Professional Qualifications Standard for the Plumbing Inspector, the Society is again leading the way and raising the bar for the plumbing and mechanical indust
12、ry. For the first time, these important new standards spell out the experience, education, training and general knowledge requirements for inspectors who play a critical role in protecting the health and safety of both the general public and the industry itself.Our ever changing industry is affected
13、 by innovation with the constant development of new materials, systems and installation methods. The economy also plays a large role in funding for education of public inspectors and the move toward third-party and multi-craft inspectors. With these industry developments, it was essential that a nat
14、ional standard for mechanical inspectors be developed. That need has been fulfilled with the ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 17000. Recognition is made of the time volunteered by members of this working group and of the industry members who participated in the development of this standard.Compliance with thi
15、s 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).Professional Qualifications Standard for the Mechanical Inspectorvi ASS
