IBC: 901.6.1.
Proponent : Michael O'Brian (fcac@iccsafe.org)

BACK

THE FOLLOWING CODE CHANGE PROPOSAL WAS DEEMED TO BE A CORRELATIVE CHANGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.4 OF CP#28 BY THE CODE CORRELATION COMMITTEE AT ITS FEBRUARY 8, 2016 MEETING.
2015 International Building Code
Revise as follows:
Automatic sprinkler systems. Automatic sprink ler systems shall be monitored by an
approved supervising station.
Exceptions:
A supervising station is not required for automatic sprink ler systems protecting one and two family dwellings.
Limited area systems serving fewer than 20 sprinklers in accordance with Section 903.3.8.
Reason: The limited area sprinkler requirements w ere revised in the 2015 IBC and IFC. How ever, this exception for supervision in the IBC w as missed.  Section 901.6.1 should be consistent w ith Section 903.4.  Limited area sprinklers now are limited to 6 sprinklers versus 20. The revision simply uses the same language for the identical exception in Section 903.4.
This proposal is submitted by the ICC Fire Code Action Committee (FCAC). The FCAC w as established by the ICC Board of Directors to pursue opportunities to improve and enhance assigned International Codes w ith regard to fire safety and hazardous materials in new and existing buildings  and facilities and the protection of  life and property in w ildland urban interface areas. In 2014 and 2015 the Fire-CAC has held 5 open meetings. In addition, there w ere numerous conference calls, Regional Work Group and Task Group meetings for the current code development cycle, w hich included members of the committees as w ell as any interested parties, to discuss and debate the proposed changes. Related documentation and reports are posted on the FCAC w ebsite at: FCAC

Cost Im pact: Will not increase the cost of construction
This is simply a correlation w ith w hat is already permitted in Section 903.4 therefore there is no cost impact.

IFC: 5001.3.3.8.
Proponent : Jay Weightman, representing Colorado Springs Fire Department, Division of the Fire Marshal (jweightman@springsgov.com)
THE FOLLOWING CODE CHANGE PROPOSAL WAS DEEMED TO BE EDITORIAL BY THE CODE CORRELATION COMMITTEE AT ITS FEBRUARY 8, 2016 MEETING.
2015 International Fire Code
5001.3.3.8 Detection Mitigation of gas or vapor release. No change to text.
Reason: The current title for this section indicates "Detection of a gas or vapor" and the text does not mention detection but rather addresses the mitigation of a release. This proposal drops "Detection" and changes the title to "Mitigation". Detection is addressed in a propsal for a new Section 5001.3.3.19.

Cost Im pact: Will not increase the cost of construction
There is no impact to cost for this verbiage change as it is merely editorial.

THE FOLLOWING CODE CHANGE PROPOSAL WAS DEEMED TO BE EDITORIAL BY THE CODE CORRELATION COMMITTEE AT ITS FEBRUARY 8, 2016 MEETING.
2015 International Building Code
Add new definition as follows:

SECTION	202	DEFINITIONS

[F] FIRE CODE OFFICIAL. The fire chief or other designated authority charged with the administration and enforcement of the code, or a duly authorized representative.
Reason: Section 501.2 and multiple sections in Chapter 9 use the term Fire Code Official; how ever, section 202 lacks a definition of "Fire Code Official". The intent of adding this definition is for consistency and clarity. The proposed definition uses the same definition contained in the ICC 2015 International Fire Code.

Cost Im pact: Will not increase the cost of construction
This proposal does not increase the cost of construction because there are no technical impacts from this proposal.
