I-Codes
Code Development Committees (CDC)
Shaping the I-Codes
The Code Development Committees (CDCs) consist of over 250 volunteers across all aspects of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations and Maintenance (AEC+OM) ecosystem. These members are industry leading experts who serve to ensure the I-Codes are the best model codes globally for the safety of the built environment.
The International Code Council develops construction and public safety codes through a governmental consensus process. This system of code development has provided the highest level of safety in the world for more than 90 years.
