CPI is dedicated to supporting the highest quality of building codes and standards worldwide. CPI members interact with various code groups including ASTM International, ICC, ISO, NFPA and more. Codes and standards for building and construction make enormous contributions to most aspects of our lives - from product quality to compatibility to reliability to efficiency to safety. They also have important economic and social repercussions. They make a difference not only to me and to you, but to society as a whole.

Codes and standards are useful to industrial and business organizations of all types, from governments and other regulatory bodies, to trade officials, to suppliers and customers of products and services in both public and private sectors, and, ultimately, to people in general in their roles as consumers and end users.

Codes and standards are intended to make the development, manufacturing and supply of products and services more efficient, safer and cleaner. They make trade between countries easier and fairer. They provide governments with a technical base for health, safety and environmental legislation. They aid in transferring technology to developing countries. They also serve to safeguard consumers, and users in general, against faulty products and services - as well as to make their lives simpler.
