Call for Committees
Volunteers are one of the most important assets of the International Code Council. Their work on the 番茄社区 Board of Directors, committees and councils is directly related to the success of 番茄社区. It takes the time and expertise of many individuals working through the numerous 番茄社区 committees to shape the Code Council into the world-class membership organization that exists today.聽 A list of committee and council pages can be found at Committees and Councils - 番茄社区 (iccsafe.org)
These 鈥淐all for Committees鈥 provide another opportunity to serve.

Existing Buildings Safety Inspections Consensus Committee (IS-EBSI)
As an ANSI accredited standards developing organization, the Code Council is developing a new standard聽to provide the framework for the regular inspection of structural elements, egress components, active and passive fire protection systems, the building envelope (including the roof), electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fuel gas equipment and systems in order to assess whether an unsafe condition exists. The new standard is intended for reference in the I-Codes. The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) requires both the interior and exterior of the building to be maintained in good repair and structurally sound and not pose a threat to public health, safety and welfare. Unsafe structures and equipment are addressed in Section 111 of the IPMC.
Once appointed, this committee will convene to develop the new 番茄社区 1500 -202X entitled, Standard for Existing Building Safety Inspection.
For more information on the 番茄社区 procedures for developing standards, please refer to the 番茄社区 Consensus Procedures posted at:聽

Code Hearing Moderators
The Code Council is seeking code development experts interested in serving as unbiased moderators of the code development hearings.
Code Council moderators serve a critical role in the execution of the International Codes庐 (I-Codes) hearings. The committee action hearings (CAHs) and public comment hearings (PCH) are a part of the industry-leading code development procedures that set the standard for an open and transparent process, allowing any interested parties to participate.
This facilitates a broad spectrum of ideas, expertise and input enabling the I-Codes to be the best model codes available to support the built environment, impacting nearly 2 billion people globally.
- Moderators are appointed by the Code Council President (President of the Board of Directors) and act as presiding officers for the public code hearings in accordance with CP-28.
- Moderators are respected members of the code development community and have subject matter expertise in the Code Council鈥檚 code development procedures and the I-Codes.
- The moderators facilitate decorum during the code hearings and facilitate the successful progression of the proceedings in accordance with CP-28 and Robert鈥檚 Rules of Order.
- Moderators serve as a critical extension of the Technical Service Team in the successful execution of the code development hearings.
- Moderators cannot serve on code development committees during the same code cycle.
- Moderators have significant experience serving/participating in code development hearings.
- Moderators must demonstrate an unbiased approach in hearings.
The Code Council鈥檚 Technical Services Team will select potential moderators from the applicants. The selectees will be placed in the moderator training program to be developed as moderators supporting future code hearings.
Individuals who have successfully served previously as Code Council code development hearing moderators do not need to reapply.
Individuals interested can apply on the Committee Application site.
Low-Carbon Alternative Cements Consensus Committee (IS-LCCC)
As an ANSI accredited standards developing organization, the Code Council is developing a new performance standard for the assessment of low-carbon alternative cements used in concrete. The cement industry is responsible for about 8% of the CO2 emissions for the globe.聽 With the increased attention to the effects of global CO2 production, there is a need for low-carbon alternative cement that has the proper physical properties in accordance with model building codes and the referenced standards within.聽 A standard will provide requirements for those physical properties that could be referenced in the International Building Code (IBC).
Once appointed, this committee will convene to develop the new 番茄社区 1155 -202X entitled, Standard for Low-Carbon Alternative Cements used in Concrete. 鈥疶his performance standard would assess low-carbon alternative cement properties and its effects on concrete mechanical and durability properties based upon the 番茄社区-ES Acceptance Criteria for Low-Carbon Alternative Cements for use in Concrete (AC529).

Residential Smart Door Standard Consensus Committee (IS-RSDC)
As an ANSI and SCC Accredited standards developing organization, the Code Council is developing a new product evaluation standard for residential smart doors that can be referenced in the IRC and used by manufacturers to certify to. Although the individual components have been evaluated to various safety standards, there is not a safety standard for powered and connected residential doors.聽 The smart door standard would be developed to address topics and features unique to smart doors that are not addressed in existing standards.聽 For instance, when power is physically conveyed from the door frame to the door, the power transfer device should be certified as a component for its rated voltage, current, and the number of door cycles it is capable of handling.聽 The smart door standard would test the worst case smart door with the maximum amount of smart accessories on the door / frame system to confirm the maximum input power, temperature test and evaluate for environmental conditions for the certification of the smart door / frame system.
This standard would be developed under both of the Code Council鈥檚 ANSI and SCC accredited consensus procedures.
Once appointed, this committee will convene to develop the new 番茄社区 1425-202x entitled, Standard for Residential Smart Doors.聽 This standard will provide requirements to cover smart doors rated 600V or less to be employed in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1 and the Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, NFPA 80.聽 This standard sets forth the minimum durability, safety and labeling requirements for Smart Doors.
This committee will have primary responsibility for the development of minimum requirements and standards to safeguard the public health, safety, general welfare and address societal and industry challenges through design, construction, inspection, certification and regulatory compliance for tiny houses.
At this time, 番茄社区 is receiving applications for members to serve on this committee. In accordance with 番茄社区鈥檚 Consensus Procedures, the committee will be a balanced committee of 10 鈥 12 members of the following Interest Categories: Manufacturer, Builder, Standards Promulgator / Testing Laboratory, User, Utility, Consumer, Public Segment, Government Regulator and Insurance.
