There is a group of proposals now under consideration by the ICC Building Code Action Committee (BCAC) that is being prepared for the International Code Council’s meetings April 15 to 25, 2018 in Columbus, Ohio. The intent of these proposals is a start to improving consistency in Chapter 1 of the 2021 International Building Code. The definitions in the document linked below are scoped to administrative content across most of the ICC standard suite. The “Reason” (substantiation) statements — always a required in the ICC process — indicate which codes have the same information and with no proposed changes. Where there is coordination with the International Residential Codes or the ICC Energy codes, the proposals in the link below show Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 since Chapter 1 of those codes is heard in breakout hearings by those code committees:
