Call for Committee: Existing Buildings Safety Inspections Consensus Committee
Once appointed, this committee will convene to develop the new ICC 1500 -202X entitled, Standard for Existing Building Safety Inspection.
The Code Council is currently accepting industry volunteers for the Existing Buildings Safety Inspections Consensus Committee (IS-EBSI).
As an ANSI accredited standards developing organization, the Code Council is developing a new standard to provide the framework for the regular inspection of structural elements, egress components, active and passive fire protection systems, the building envelope (including the roof), electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fuel gas equipment and systems in order to assess whether an unsafe condition exists.
Once appointed, this committee will convene to develop the new ICC 1500 -202X entitled, Standard for Existing Building Safety Inspection.
The new standard is intended for reference in the International Codes®. The International Property Maintenance Code® (IPMC) requires both the interior and exterior of the building to be maintained in good repair and structurally sound and not pose a threat to public health, safety and welfare. Unsafe structures and equipment are addressed in Section 111 of the IPMC.
The application deadline is October 15, 2024. To apply for the committee, click here.
