- Abstract
This paper will address the components of the International Code Council (ICC) as one of the most important organizations in terms of developing the model building codes for the US: the international codes. This membership-driven organization has the task of providing the building industry and all its stakeholders with the necessary regulatory documents, training, certification, plan check, product evaluation, and accreditation services to achieve safer and more sustainable building construction. This article provides an overview of the building codes in the U.S., the ICC and its subsidiaries, and ICC's systems designed to support the codes and the regulatory industry.
