UNIFORM SOLAR, HYDRONICS AND GEOTHERMAL CODE

The Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code® (USHGC) is a model code developed by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials® (IAPMO) to govern the installation and inspection of solar energy, hydronic and radiant heat systems, and geothermal heating and cooling projects as a means of promoting the public's health, safety and welfare.

IAPMO R&T’s certification to the requirements of the Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code™ (USHGC™) is unique to the industry; no other accredited certification body offers such certification in addition to certification to national and international standards, and at no additional cost. The USHGC is published by IAPMO and adopted in many jurisdictions throughout the United States. This mark of conformity tells consumers and inspectors alike that the products bearing it meet all the standards and requirements essential for such products’ safe and reliable operation.
