IS-RSDC

Residential Smart Door Committee
(IS-RSDC)

ICC 1425 – Standard for Residential Smart Doors

Project Description:  This standard provides requirements to cover smart doors rated 600V or less to be employed in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1 and the Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, NFPA 80. This standard sets forth the minimum durability, safety and labeling requirements for smart doors and would test the worst-case smart door with the maximum number of smart accessories on the door / frame system to confirm the maximum input power, temperature test and evaluate for environmental conditions for the certification of the smart door / frame system.

Project need: A product evaluation standard for powered and connected residential smart doors that can be referenced in the IRC and used by manufacturers to certify to does not exist. The smart door standard would be developed to address topics and features unique to smart doors that are not addressed in existing standards. For instance, when power is physically conveyed from the door frame to the door, the power transfer device should be certified as a component for its rated voltage, current, and the number of door cycles it is capable of handling.

Contractor Training – Medical Gas Maintenance

Medical Gas Maintenance

ICC uses Medical Gas Systems Instructors certified to ASSE 6050, nationally accredited to lead each of the following courses which are scheduled as requested with pricing based on class size and location.

Please contact us for available dates and pricing based on your specific needs.

These courses address the NFPA 99 requirements highlighted here:

5.1.14.4.2.5

  1.  “Persons maintaining these [Medical Gas and Vacuum] systems shall be qualified to perform these [maintenance] operations.”
  2.  “Appropriate qualification shall be demonstrated by any of the following:
  1.  A documented training program acceptable to the health care facility by which such persons are employed or contracted to work with specific equipment as installed in that facility.
  2.  Credentialing to the requirements of ASSE 6040, Professional Qualification Standard for Medical Gas Maintenance Personnel, and technically competent on the specific equipment as installed in the facility.”

According to the Joint Commission:

The Joint Commission standards do not specify the type of training or certifications that staff are required to have for maintenance of medical gas systems. If there is a local or state authority that addresses the issue, then compliance with that authority is required…Staff competency may be evaluated at any point during the survey, but may be primarily occur during review of utility systems and their maintenance records. If issues are found [in] the maintenance of the medical gas system, the surveyor may discuss staff training and competency and the organization should be prepared to defend their strategy.

If you prefer ASSE 6040 credentials, please click here.

The International Code Council’s 2025 Building Safety Month Concludes with High Tech and Global Trends

Washington, D.C. – The International Code Council wraps up its 45th annual Building Safety Month campaign on a high note by spotlighting the industry’s hottest topics- from groundbreaking developments in artificial intelligence to compelling global trends and more.

Week Five: Going Into Overtime, explains the importance of keeping up with new building safety trends and technologies when it comes to building safety. Learn how building safety professionals can leverage artificial intelligence to help them make quicker and more informed decisions in the field and how updating building codes can reduce utility bills and insurance premiums without impacting housing affordability. This week also details ways the Code Council is actively working with stakeholders around the world to address climate mitigation and emissions reduction.

“It’s essential that we leverage new technology to advance building safety” said Code Council Board President David Spencer, CBO. “Integrating artificial intelligence, modernizing building codes and working to address climate resilience measures will ensure that our structures are safe, affordable and better equipped for the future.”

“The American Gas Association (AGA) is once again proud to be a Foundational Sponsor of the Code Council’s Building Safety Month held each May. AGA has been a leader in advancing safety codes and standards across the industry to help protect customers, communities and employees, while continuing to deliver the reliable energy Americans expect,” said Karen Harbert, AGA president and CEO. “We have an extensive history partnering with the Code Council and our support for Building Safety Month continues to demonstrate that ongoing partnership.”

Communities across the United States are issuing proclamations declaring May 2025 as Building Safety Month. View the proclamations here or submit one here.
