  • ICC Interim Code Amendment (ICA & EA)

    Two pathways: Interim Critical Amendment (ICA) and ICC Board Emergency Action (EA)
  • This is the starting point to request an interim code amendment to an existing code outside of the normal code development cycle.  You can refer to ICC's CP-28 Section 2.3.

    This online form takes you through the process to submit an interim critical amendment request.

    • Information (What is the difference?) 
    • There are fundamental pathways:  (1) Interim Critical Amendments and (2) Emergency Actions.  The graphics below provide an overview what is involved in the process for approval of each pathway.

      Process for Interim Critical Amendments as defined in the CP-28

       

      Process for the ICC Board Emergency Actions as defined in the CP-28

  • Critical Nature

    By definition the proposed amendment is required outside of the normal code development cycle because it is an issue of a critical nature and is an immediate threat to health and safety that warrants a timelier response than allowed by the Code Development Process schedule.
  • This does not meet the criteria for an interim critical change amendment to the current I-Code suite.

  • Submitter Information

    This section collects required information for the submitter seeking an ICA.
  • Represented Entity

    You stated that you are representing an entity other than yourself. The following information identified with an "*" is required to process your request for an ICA.
  • Requested Amendment Information

    The following information is required to process the request for an ICA.
  • Justification for the change.

    Please be as succinct as possible describing why the ICA needed now and cannot be processed during the normal code development process.
  • Date Required

    Identify the date that this ICA is required by to avoid the issues noted in your justification. Please be sure to explain in your justification above why this date is required. Some ICA's are not needed currently but are needed before next expected publish date of the normal development cycle. If it is needed now, please just select today's date.

  • Written Endorsement (Apply to Interim Critical Amendments Only)

    You need to have the written endorsement of two (2) members from the relevant code development committees that are responsible for the affected code sections.

    If you have those available now, please provide them now.  If you do not have those now, you can submit those later via email to codeapps@iccsafe.org. 

    If you do not have contact information for the relevant committee members the ICC staff will send your ICA request to them to see if any are interested in endorsing the proposed ICA.  We will contact you after we hear from the committee members as to their position on the ICA submitted.  Additionally, your contact information will be provided to the relevant committee members so they can reach out directly to you with any questions.
