Proponent: Edward Kulik, representing Building Code Action Committee (bcac@iccsafe.org)

THIS IS A 3 PART CODE CHANGE PROPOSAL. PART I WAS HEARD BY THE IBC GENERAL COMMMITTEE, PART II WAS HEARD BY THE IMC COMMITTEE AND PART III WAS HEARD BY THE IPC/IPSDC COMMITTEE.
Revise as follows:

The provisions of this chapter and the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code shall govern the design, construction, erection and installation of mechanical appliances, equipment and systems shall be constructed, installed used in buildings and maintained in accordance with
the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code structures covered by this code. Masonry chimneys, fireplaces and barbecues shall comply with the International Mechanical Code and Chapter 21 of this code. The International Fire Code, the International Property Maintenance Code,
the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code shall govern the use and maintenance of mechanical components, appliances, equipment and systems. The International Existing Building Code, the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code shall govern the alteration, repair, relocation, replacement, and addition of mechanical components, appliances, equipment and systems.

Reason: This proposal provides consistency in the scoping for the Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical chapters. Direction is provided as to what codes govern use and maintenance, and alteration, repair, relocation, replacement and additions for existing electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems.
This public proposal is submitted by the ICC Building Code Action Committee (BCAC). The BCAC was established by the ICC Board of Directors to pursue opportunities to improve and enhance an assigned International Code or portion thereof. This includes both the technical aspects of the codes as well as the code content in terms of scope and application of referenced standards. Since its inception in July, 2011, the BCAC has held 13 open meetings and numerous workgroup calls which included members of the BCAC as well as any interested party to discuss and debate the proposed changes and the public comments. Related documentation and reports are posted on the BCAC website at: http://www.iccsafe.org/cs/BCAC/Pages/default.aspx.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction
This proposal will not increase the cost of construction. This proposal may decrease the cost of construction, by providing clarity to the scoping of these chapters.
