2018 International Plumbing Code – Swimming Pool TAC

IPC Code Change No.	IPC Section 	Change Summary b/t 2015 IPC and 2018 IPC. Swimming Pool TAC.	Change Summary b/t 2017 FPC and 2018 IPC	Staff comments	
P7-15	202

	Delete without substitution the definition for “SWIMMING POOL.” There is no need for such a specific definition for a swimming pool within the context of how the term is used in the few places in the IPC. Water from a swimming pool is handled in the same manner no matter how a swimming pool is actually defined.  And this definition conflicts with the definition of a swimming pool according to the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. This code change was further modified by public comment to add definition for swimming pool as per the ISPSC.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. This proposal will not increase the cost of construction because no additional labor, materials, equipment, appliances or devices are mandated beyond what is currently required by the code.
	Same as change between 2015 IPC and 2018 IPC

P36-15 Part I	Table 403.1 (IBC 2902.1),	Revise Table 403.1 (IBC 2902.1) to add footnote “f” to require plumbing fixtures for outdoor public swimming pools as per the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC).

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. Because this proposal is not based on an occupant load, this will result in a cost decrease as compared to the cost of the number of required fixtures based on IPC Table 403.1.
	This change is not similar to that of the FPC. The ISPCP is not part of the FBC.	No action needed
