The International Code Council is currently accepting applications for the following Codes & Standards Committees:
Solar Thermal Standard Consensus Committee (I-Standard)
ICC, as an ANSI-accredited standards developer, provided notice of the intent to develop two standards through the ANSI Project Initiation Notification System (PINS) which was published in the June 22, 2012 edition of the ANSI Standards Action. These two standards are being developed jointly by ICC and the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). The two standards are:
- Minimum Standard for Solar Thermal Collectors
- Minimum Standard for Solar Water Heating Systems
These two standards will be based on SRCC’s Standards 100 and 300, respectively, and will developed by the single Solar Thermal Standard Consensus Committee and are scoped as follows:
Minimum Standard for Solar Thermal Collectors: This standard establishes minimum requirements for the design, construction, performance and testing of liquid and air heating solar thermal collectors, including those containing distributed assembly and integral concentrating components and integral storage and non-separable thermosiphon units. This standard is applicable to solar collectors intended for use within swimming pool and spa heating, building space heating and cooling, water heating systems, industrial/commercial process heating, and thermal input to electrical power production systems.
Minimum Standard for Solar Water Heating Systems: This standard establishes minimum requirements for the system design, performance evaluation, and installation instructions of solar water heating systems. This standard establishes a methodology for rating the performance of solar water heating systems based on performance projections and solar collector test data. This standard is applicable to residential and commercial solar water heating systems intended for use within swimming pool heating, building space heating, building space cooling, and/or water heating systems. It is applicable to both direct and indirect solar water heating systems.
These two ICC/SRCC standards will be developed utilizing ICC’s Consensus Procedures. For more information on the ICC procedures for developing standards, please refer to the ICC Consensus Procedures.
At this time, ICC is receiving applications for members to serve on this committee. In accordance with ICC’s Consensus Procedures, the committee will be a balanced committee of 12 – 15 members of the following Interest Categories: General; User; and Producer. Accordingly, stakeholders such as regulators, designers, installers, manufacturers and solar associations should apply. A full description of the Interest Categories is included in the application linked below. Any stakeholder is welcome to apply and ICC membership is not required. Applications for committee appointment will be reviewed by the Codes and Standards Council who is responsible for making recommendations to the ICC Board who makes the final appointment decision.

IS-STSC Solar Thermal Standard Committee
Travel required. The schedule anticipates 3 – 4 meetings per year. ICC Governmental Member Representatives are authorized to travel at ICC’s expense when participating at ICC Consensus Committee meetings. All others are responsible for funding their participation on this committee.
Term: Through completion of the standard
Staff: Mike Pfeiffer; 888-ICC-SAFE (888-422-7233), ext. 4338
Application deadline: May 24, 2013
Commissioning Consensus Committee (I-Standard)
ICC, as an ANSI-accredited standards developer, provided notice of the intent to develop a standard entitled “Standard for Commissioning” through the ANSI Project Initiation Notification System (PINS) which was published in the March 22, 2013 edition of the ANSI Standards Action.
This standard development effort is to provide a complete set of requirements that will address the current best practices relating to the overall commissioning process, which includes requirements for the commissioning process and acceptance criteria, for adoption by local jurisdictions to facilitate implementation and enforcement of commissioning provisions established in the codes. This standard establishes minimum requirements for the process of commissioning building systems and criteria for code officials (AHJ), owners and agents. This standard establishes a process that is applicable to residential and non-residential buildings in the public or private sectors.
For more information on the ICC procedures for developing standards, please refer to the ICC Consensus Procedure.
At this time, ICC is receiving applications for members to serve on this committee. In accordance with ICC’s Consensus Procedures, the committee will be a balanced committee of 12 – 15 members of the following Interest Categories: General; User; and Producer.

Application deadline: May 24, 2013
Referenced Standard Committee (I-Codes)
The committee is charged with supporting the improvement of the code development process through the review of reference standards to the I-Codes. Specifically, proposed new standards are reviewed for compliance with the referenced standards criteria in Council Policy 28 Code Development. This review includes compliance relative to: scope and application of the code reference; need for the standard; mandatory language; and consensus promulgation. The committee is also charged with monitoring existing referenced standards and prepare code changes when deemed appropriate.
At this time, ICC is receiving applications to fill General Interest (Regulator) vacancies to serve on this committee. Any Regulator is welcome to apply and ICC membership is not required. Applications for committee appointment will be reviewed by the Codes and Standards Council who is responsible for making recommendations to the ICC Board who makes the final appointment decision.
