The ICC Board approved the creation of an ad hoc committee to comprehensively review and update the provisions in the International Codes relative to both new and existing hospitals and ambulatory care facilities. This new committee is being formed in cooperation with the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE). The objective of this committee is to develop code change proposals to the International Codes which will result in the most contemporary, effective and efficient provisions for hospital and ambulatory care facilities to assure the highest level of safety for all users of such facilities.

If you wish to be placed on the “interested party” list for this committee, contact the ICC Secretariat, Kim Paarlberg, Senior Staff Architect. Interested parties will be notified by e-mail of activities related to this committee.
