Code Changes Resource Collection: 2012 Edition (PDF Download)

Similar to a legislative history for laws and statutes, Code Changes Resource Collection provides a complete revision history from 2009 editions to the 2012 International Codes. Included is a comprehensive background on every change that occurred in the 2012 IBC, IFC, IRC, IPC and IMC. The information provided includes the original proposal, committee action and final action documentation, all in a single document, which greatly simplifies the research that would otherwise be necessary to track the history of a new, revised or deleted code section from 2009 to 2012. You’ll see the proponent’s original reason for the change in his/her own words, unabridged statements that substantiated code development committee actions and the complete documentation for any public comment that was considered prior to final action on the change. “Code Changes Resource Collection, A Complete Revision History” will pay for itself in time saved the first time you use it to research the history of a section that changed in 2012. Anyone who owns a 2012 code should own this document.

Testimonial from a long time user: The “Code Changes Resource Collection” is an invaluable resource that every code user should own. There is simply no better way to understand the true intent of a code change than to read the proponents’ original reason statement. The “Resource Collection, A Complete Revision History” allows me to readily identify which code proposal originated a change and to see the entire history of that proposal, beginning to end, in one place. With this document, you no longer have to sort through multiple monographs looking for a “needle in a haystack” to figure out where a code change came from or why it was made.
