A Defining Moment for South Africa’s Plumbing Industry

A Stronger Future for Our Trade

The plumbing industry in South Africa has reached a historic milestone!

IOPSA is proud to announce after years of deliberations and engagements by your IOPSA representatives, the regulatory process to amend the Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER) has officially been completed. With promulgation on the horizon, this marks a transformative moment for the plumbing industry and its future.

But this is more than just a regulatory update. It’s an official recognition of what we’ve always known, plumbers play a critical role in protecting public health, safety, and infrastructure in South Africa.

This milestone is the result of years of collaboration, with IOPSA working alongside government, industry partners, industry associations and stakeholders to drive professionalism and ensure that plumbing is recognised, regulated, and respected.

The Future of Plumbing Starts Now!

This is the beginning of a stronger, more unified, and future-ready plumbing industry, one that stands proudly alongside other regulated trades and builds even greater trust with the South African public.

To every plumber and industry partner, this achievement is yours! Your dedication and professionalism have brought us here, and together, we are shaping the future of plumbing in South Africa.

The best is yet to come!
