Group A final changes available

January 29th, 2019
by Ed Wirtschoreck
  • Technical Topics

The final actions from the 2018 proposed changes to the International Codes for Group A — which are based on and include the Public Comment Hearing and Online Governmental Consensus Vote vote tallies — are now available.

The International Codes are a family of 15 coordinated, modern building safety codes used throughout the world that protect against disasters like fires, weather-related events and structural collapse.

Code officials, architects, builders, engineers, designers, plumbing professionals, construction trade associations and other interested parties provided input on proposed code changes to the Group A codes.

Code changes for the Group B codes will be considered at the Committee Action Hearings from April 28 to May 8, 2019, in Albuquerque, N.M. In advance of the hearings, the Code Council will release the hearing schedule on Feb. 19, 2019, and post proposed code changes on March 4, 2019.
