- Abstract
- Preliminary information describing regulatory codes and standards bearing on building construction and occupancy, which have been adopted by the various states and certain major cities in the U.S., are presented in a series of summary tables. The tables and accompanying notes provide information on salient elements of the enabling legislation, the type of codes and standards promulgated, and the respective agencies charged with the administration and enforcement of each regulatory program. Other features of the various regulatory programs (e.g., occupancy classifications covered, preemptive status of codes, etc.) are also enumerated. The regulatory programs and the respective code disciplines which are summarized include: building; mechanical; plumbing; electrical; fire and life safety; elevators; gas fittings; and boiler and pressure vessels.
