CertaPipe Standards Group was founded in 1981 by a coalition of plumbing inspectors and mechanical engineers who saw the need for a single, independent body to test and certify products entering the North American plumbing and mechanical systems market.
Over four decades, CertaPipe has grown into a network of accredited testing laboratories, code development committees, and certification bodies serving manufacturers, code officials, and utilities across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
