2021 Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC)

The 2021 Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC®) provides comprehensive requirements for the installation, inspection, and maintenance of heating, ventilation, cooling, and refrigeration systems. Developed through the ANSI Consensus Process and designated as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the 2021 UMC reflects current practices, technologies, and requirements in the mechanical industry.

The 2021 edition is particularly significant for its provisions addressing low-flammability A2L and B2L refrigerants, including refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP). The code incorporates contributions from a broad range of professionals and stakeholders across the built environment.
