Description:
The International Code Council (ICC) is a member-focused association dedicated to helping the building community and the construction industry provide safe, resilient, and sustainable construction through the development and use of model codes (I-Codes) and standards used in the design, construction, and compliance processes. Most U.S. states and communities, federal agencies, and many global markets choose the I-Codes to set the standards for regulating construction, plumbing and sanitation, fire prevention, and energy conservation in the built environment. In addition to its codes and standards activities, the Code Council provides product testing and evaluation, accreditation, software and technology, professional development and training, and consulting services solutions for governments and businesses.
