The ISPSC is the most widely adopted swimming pool and spa code across the United States. The ISPSC is currently adopted in 33 states across the U.S. and is also adopted in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Approximately 246 million people, or 72% of the US population, live in areas that have adopted the ISPSC.
The ISPSC is a vital part of a complete building safety system, providing an integral component necessary to achieving a safe and healthy environment for users of swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and aquatic facilities.
The I-Codes, when adopted as a family of codes, correlating as they do, provide a consistent system of regulations that designers, builders, and regulators can rely on,
across city, county, or state lines.
The adoption of building codes, including the swimming pool and spa code, is not just about the codes. Technical support, in the form of expert advice, code opinions, and technical resources are some of the most sought-after services following adoption of a code.
The Code Council’s expert technical staff provides advice, code opinions, and resources to our more than 60,000 members as a complimentary benefit.
We have several resources, including commentaries and study companions, to support our members and industry professionals in achieving a better understanding of the code and implementing inspection programs.
Numerous training resources are available on the IFGC including face to face training and webinars which are led by qualified instructors and fuel gas industry leaders.
The Code Council also has a world class digital platform where codes, industry standards and resources can be accessed from one’s computer, tablet, or phone.
The ISPSC is developed through a governmental consensus process
that involves many interest groups including public safety officials, plumbing contractors, manufacturers, standards development organizations, academia, consumers and many more;
cannot be influenced by vested financial interests;
and is conducted every three years.
