I took a deep look into the building, plumbing, mechanical and fire codes currently adopted in the U.S. states and by the District of Columbia (generically, the U.S. states). Specifically, I studied 1) how states use the base model codes, 2) how states amend the base model codes, 3) what publication years are adopted by the U.S. states, and 4) what publication years are currently used by U.S. states. As I share my findings with you, I hope you gain a deep appreciation for the value and purpose of base model codes. \u003c/p>\u003ch4 >\u003cstrong >Which U.S. states use base model codes as the foundation in the development of state BSCs?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\u003cp >The majority of U.S. states rely on the base model codes for the development of jurisdiction-specific BSCs.

The value of the base model codes is that they provide the fastest way to ensure that states, counties, and cities discuss new products, technologies and system designs. Access to so many jurisdictions through a single published document makes it worth both time and investment. Although the base model codes have value, they also have usefulness limitations. Due to the high level of amendments, variation in different years adopted, and old BSC publication years in use, base model codes cannot be used as the basis for jurisdiction-specific building or systems design and will not ensure market access for products in the U.S. To reduce liability and manage risks, additional assessment is required to ensure there are no jurisdiction-specific requirements. \u003c/p>\u003ch4 >\u003cstrong >What can you do?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\u003cp >Monitor, monitor, monitor!
