The International Code Council stands in solidarity with Texas plumbing professionals.
International Code Council
People Helping People Build a Safer World®
19-17424_v1a_208552.jpgThe International Code Council stands in solidarity with Texas plumbing professionals. In light of recent state legislation, that impacts both the Texas plumbing industry and general public, the Code Council will continue to provide communities with training to the highest quality codes and testing to ensure the next generation of plumbers is fully trained, educated and qualified. 
 
The International Plumbing Code (IPC) is the most widely adopted plumbing code in Texas. Cities throughout the State also follow the International Residential Code (IRC), which is cited in State Statute and contains the IPC plumbing provisions. With provisions included in the IRC and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), the IPC incorporates innovative technologies and provides plumbing regulations that address both prescriptive and performance-based objectives. The adoption and enforcement of the IPC is critical to the health, safety and welfare of communities throughout the state. 
 
Plumbers and plumbing inspectors certified under the IPC have proven they are equipped with the expertise required to ensure consumer safety. The Code Council offers a vast array of training and education, supported by a network of more than 400 Preferred Training Provider partners, for plumbing and code professionals to advance their knowledge and skillsets and remain up-to-date on the most recent and relevant industry information.
 
The ICC Learning Center offers virtual classroom events including web sessions, virtual training paths to certification covering a multitude of plumbing courses. Certification has never been more convenient and can be achieved through the Code Council’s state of the art proctored online testing service, which is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
 
The Proctored Remote Online Testing Option (PRONTO) offers plumbing professionals a fast and efficient method for earning ICC certifications.
 
From the extensive programing to the support of its committed Members and Staff, the Code Council will continue to support and offer solutions to the Texas plumbing professionals throughout this regulatory plumbing transition and beyond.

This 1-hour interactive online course will analyze project scopes, scheduling, quality control, and the permitting process; all items that will need to be coordinated before and during the design of the project.

2018 IBC® Means of Egress

This seminar addresses numerous provisions in the 2018 International Building Code® (IBC®) where the code contains requirements pertaining to establishing a means of egress in buildings. During this training, participants will listen to lecture and view examples, as well as discuss sections of the IBC that pertain to means of egress. They will participate in activities that involve a set of plans.

Accessibility and Usability: Commercial and Residential

This seminar focuses on the minimum requirements for new or existing construction of accessible commercial buildings and residential facilities for compliance with the International Building Code® (IBC®) and ICC A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. It addresses the design, plan review and inspection of residential buildings and facilities to ensure that people with physical impairments, visual impairments and hearing impairments can use the facilities. Attendees will participate in activities that involve questions and answers, discussion and case study, performing parts of individually and in groups.

Significant Changes to the A117.1, 2017 Edition

This course offers an overview and in-depth coverage of the changes from the 2003 to the 2017 A117.1 Accessibility Standard. It identifies important changes in organization, accessibility standard requirements and the applicability of these requirements to design, plan review and inspection. This course uses the ICC publication Significant changes to the A117.1 Accessibility Standard – 2017 Edition.

2018 IBC® Mixed Occupancies

Based on the provisions of International Building Code® (IBC®) Section 508, this seminar addresses those special requirements applicable to buildings containing two or more occupancy classifications. The three mixed-occupancy options are presented along with examples and exercises that illustrate the proper application of the provisions.

2018 IBC® Allowable Heights and Areas

Based on the provisions of International Building Code® (IBC®) Chapter 5, this seminar focuses on how a building’s occupancy classification and type of construction relate to the maximum building size permitted by the IBC. The approach to determining a building’s maximum allowable height and area is explained, including use of Table 503 and all related permitted increases due to sprinkler protection and frontage open space. Detailed provisions related to mezzanines and unlimited area buildings are also addressed.

Overview of the ICC 500

The ICC 500 is a standard for the design and construction of storm shelters. This course will review the scoping, or where it is required to use the ICC 500 in the codes. There will also be an overview of the technical requirements, or the how to, in Chapters 1-9 in the ICC 500.
