[i]In general the organizations have committees with representatives from the industry, manufacturers, professional groups, users, government agencies, insurance companies etc.

The committees are responsible for maintaining, updating and reviewing the codes and revisions are published regularly.

Note! In general it is important that piping professionals stay informed with the latest revisions.[/i]
