Back Cover

Introduction

Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date building code addressing the design and installation of building systems through requirements emphasizing performance. The International Building Code is designed to meet these needs through model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, large and small.

This comprehensive building code establishes minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building designs. Additionally, the International Building Code is designed to be compatible with the entire family of International Codes published by the International Code Council.

The International Building Code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model code development process that offers an international forum for building professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forum provides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in the application of provisions.

Development

The first draft of the International Building Code was prepared in 1997 by five drafting subcommittees appointed by the International Code Council (ICC) and consisting of representatives of BOCA, ICBO, and SBCCI. The intent was to draft a comprehensive set of regulations for building systems consistent with and inclusive of the scope of the existing model codes.

Technical content of the latest model codes promulgated by BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI and reports issued by the Board for the Coordination of Model Codes (BCMC) was utilized as the basis for the development of this document. While there were a great many similarities among the codes, careful consideration was given to identified differences. The committees followed certain principles as guidance in the resolution of the technical differences. The principles were based on the intent to establish provisions consistent with the scope of a building code that adequately protects public health, safety and welfare; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of new materials, productions or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treatment to particular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction.

In order to gain views of code users, industries and all other interested parties, a public comment forum was conducted and comments on the full content of the working draft were accepted. The drafting committees considered all comments submitted in writing in advance of a 1997 public comment forum. A public hearing was held in 1998 and two public hearings were held in 1999. Five technical subcommittees considered all written comments submitted in advance of the hearings. In addition to the changes made at the public comment forum and the three public hearings, other editorial changes have been made for consistency and correlation purposes.

Letter Designations in Front of Section Numbers

In each code development cycle, proposed changes to this code are considered at the First Public Hearing by the International Building Code Development Committee, whose action constitutes a recommendation to the voting membership for final action on the proposed change. Proposed changes to a code section whose number begins with a letter in brackets are considered by a different code development committee. For instance, proposed changes to code sections which have the letter [F] in front (e.g., [F] 1001.3), are considered by the International Fire Code Development Committee at the First Public Hearing. Where this designation is applicable to the entire content of a main section of the code, the designation appears at the main section number and title and is not repeated at every subsection in that section.

The content of sections in this code which begin with a letter designation are maintained by another code development committee in accordance with the following: [F] = International Fire Code Development Committee; [M] = International Mechanical Code Development Committee; [PM] = International Property Maintenance Code Development Committee; [P] = International Plumbing Code Development Committee; [RBE] = International Residential Code Building and Energy Development Committee; [RMPI = International Residential Code Mechanical/Plumbing Development Committee; [E] = International Energy Conservation Code Development Committee; and [EL] = ICC Electrical Code Development Committee.

Adoption

The International Building Code is available for adoption and use by jurisdictions internationally. Its use within a governmental jurisdiction is intended to be accomplished through adoption by reference in accordance with proceedings establishing the jurisdiction's laws. At the time of adoption, jurisdictions should insert the appropriate information in provisions requiring specific local information, such as the name of the adopting jurisdiction. These locations are shown in bracketed words in small capital letters in the code and in the sample ordinance. The sample adoption ordinance on page v addresses several key elements of a code adoption ordinance, including the information required for insertion into the code text.

Maintenance

The International Building Code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submitted by code enforcing officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties. Proposed changes are carefully considered through an open code development process in which all interested and affected parties may participate.

The contents of this work are subject to change both through the Code Development Cycles and the governmental body that enacts the code into law. For more information regarding the code development process, contact: BOCA, ICBO or SBCCI.

While the development procedure of the International Building Code assures the highest degree of care, BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI, their members and those participating in the development of this code do not accept any liability resulting from compliance or noncompliance with the provisions because BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI do not have the power or authority to police or enforce compliance with the contents of this code. Only the governmental body that enacts the code into law has such authority
