11、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 Directors recognized the need to develop Professional Qualifications Standards for the plumbing and mechanical industry. Since that t
12、ime, ASSE has developed a number of Professional Qualifications Standards, including the Series 5000, Cross-Connection Control Professional Qualifications Standard, and the Series 6000, Professional Qualifications Standard for Medical Gas Systems Personnel. Both of these important documents, now eac
13、h considered the industry standard, were necessary to allow the Authority Having Jurisdiction to have nationally recognized standards, developed in an open consensus process by all industry stakeholders, to use in ensuring that individuals working on these critically important systems possess the kn
14、owledge and experience required to successfully perform the installation, testing, maintenance and inspection needed within our industry.With the development of the ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Series 16000, Professional Qualifications Standard for the Plumbing Inspector, and its companion document, the ASSE Ser
15、ies 17000, Professional Qualifications Standard for the Mechanical Inspector, the Society is again leading the way and raising the bar for the plumbing and mechanical industry. For the first time, these important new standards spell out the experience, education, training and general knowledge requi
16、rements for the 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 by innovation with the constant development of new materials, systems and installation methods. The economy also plays a l
17、arge role in funding for the education of public inspectors and the move toward third-party and multi-craft inspectors. With these industry developments, it was essential that a national standard for plumbing inspectors be developed. That need has been fulfilled with the ASSE 16000.Recognition is ma
18、de of the time volunteered by members of the working group and of the industry members who participated in the development of this standard.Compliance with this standard does not imply acceptance by any code body or Authority Having Jurisdiction.This voluntary consensus standard was promulgated in a
