The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services announced Thursday new state safety codes for electrical and plumbing work.
The new plumbing and electrical codes will be published June 29 and take effect Sept. 1.
“State codes are vital public safety tools, and these code updates will improve the safety of future commercial and residential buildings across Wisconsin,” DSPS Secretary Dan Hereth said in a statement.
The update to Wisconsin’s plumbing code addresses inconsistencies between the state plumbing code, other DSPS rules and some national standards DSPS has adopted.
The electrical code update adopts 2023 National Electrical Code standards. It features specific changes and omissions to conform to Wisconsin statutes and is consistent with DSPS procedures.
