Significant Code Changes to the 2021 IMC and 2021 IRC (Mechanical) There are several important changes coming with the adoption of the 2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC), which goes into effect on January 1, 2022.

Mechanical Trade Certification Renewals start September 1, 2021. Please remember to provide proper documentation to staff when renewing your trades certificates. This includes the original CEU's certificate provided by the CEU provider and obtained during the previous cycle. Only those classes that are listed on our web page have been approved for use as required CEU's by MABCD and the KMTRB (Kansas Mechanical Trades Review Board).

MABCD is on a 2-year renewal cycle on certificates and all certificates expire December 31 of each odd-number year. When you renew your certificate, you will have to provide information on the class(es) you attended to show 12 hours of continuing education related to your specific trade, 6 hours of which will have to be on code related to your specific trade.
