ICC is pleased to announce the availability
of ICC/ANSI 2.0-1998, Manufactured Housing Construction and
Safety Standards. Publication of this standard culminates
work begun in 1995, when a consensus committee was appointed
to develop a document appropriate for reference by the Federal
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (24 CFR
Part 3280).
This first edition of ICC/ANSI 2.0-1998
includes the complete Federal standard, reformatted to comply
with a numbering format more consistent with standards published
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). In addition,
the document reflects changes to the Federal Standards approved
by the consensus committee in accordance with ANSI procedures,
including language that eliminates obsolete materials and
methods of construction, introduces language more consistent
with model building codes, and updates standards referenced
by the MHCSS. To facilitate the use of this standard, each
section number is cross-referenced with the corresponding
section in the FMHCSS. ANSI's Board of Standards Review (BSR)
approved the standard in February 1998.
