Complete Monograph: 2022 Group B Public Comment Agenda

The ICC typically provides a link to the monograph — which includes public comments on all titles for the present Group B cycle — ahead of the meetings.  We look forward to the restoration of that link which was available a few days ago but, today, has gone missing.

It is a long document — the better part of 2000 pages — and must be undergoing revision.  In the standards domain, everything is under revision; by definition.  Use search terms such as “school”, “student”, “college”, “university”, “hospital”, etc.  Keep in mind that there are two other title groupings — A & B — in the ICC catalog.
