- Abstract
- The National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards (NCSBCS) had its formal beginning in Wisconsin in 1967. Its formation represented a response by the States to recommendations for integovernmental reforms in the area of building codes, prepared by the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. The formative meeting held in Wisconsin was a direct outgrowth of an Earlier Exploratory Meeting, involving several states, called by the National Bureau of Standards. At this meeting, the states represented discussed the idea of a national organization of the states similar to the National Cofnerence of Weights and measures, assisted by the national Bureau of Standards, leading to a cooperative solution regarding the multiple problems in the entire building regulatory system.
