Public Comment Draft #1 has been posted below under the "Administration" tab as part of the second ANSI public review period for public review of technically substantive changes to the standard draft.  Comments should be limited to the legislative changes in the document. The deadline to receive comments is September 1, 2025.

Comments may be submitted here:  https://form.jotform.com/Code_Apps/ICC-Public_Comments

Also posted is the committee action report (CAR) for comments received at the January 27, 2025 deadline as part of the first ANSI public review period. Please see the meeting minutes for a description of the individual comments.

The first ICC 1125 Committee meeting was held on May 7, 2024 to begin development of the new standard.  Meeting minutes pending committee approval are posted below.  Interested parties can contact LaToya Carraway lcarraway@iccsafe.org or Jason Toves jtoves@iccsafe.org  to get the connection information for the meeting and to be included in future committee emails.

The first edition of ICC 1125 is being developed under the Code Council’s ANSI Accredited Consensus Procedures.

The Code Council is developing this new standard to be referenced in the I-Codes. In response to feedback from industry, the Code Council identified that a North American product standard for building and construction uses of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) boards does not exist, and the product is viewed as unique to each manufacturer.  MgO board usage in North American construction is growing, and an industry standard to establish minimally acceptable performance levels to ensure proper MgO board performance in buildings is needed.

A call for committee was posted with an application deadline of October 13, 2023 to solicit committee members of various interest categories to create a balanced committee in accordance with ANSI’s Essential Requirements. The ICC Board of Directors made the final appointments at the March 2024 meeting.

The Code Council adheres to openness and transparency in our Standards development process. All ICC Standards committee meetings are open to the public. Any interested party can participate in committee meetings and can be considered by the committee for membership on any work-group that the committee creates.

Please contact the ICC staff secretariats, Jason Toves, Sr. Technical Staff, jtoves@iccsafe.org or LaToya Carraway, Technical Staff, lcarraway@iccsafe.org if you wish to be placed on the "interested party" list and receive information on how to participate in the public committee meetings or join a work group created by the committee.
