Jay Peters

For more than 35 years, Jay Peters has been active in the plumbing and mechanical trades as a journeyman, contractor, instructor and as senior staff for two of the world’s largest codes and standards organizations — the International Code Council (ICC) and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). He was inducted into the World Toilet Organization Hall of Fame in recognition of his contributions to the global sanitation movement, especially in pioneering and initiating the official launch of the United Nations International Year of Sanitation in 2008. Currently he is working on a multi-year project with USAID and the Haitian government to adapt and adopt a model plumbing code to raise the standard of the plumbing industry through education and certification of plumbers. Peters is the principal at Codes and Standards International and assists manufacturers in the realm of codes, standards and product certification.
