Abstract
This document is an overview of the development and implementation of performance-based building regulatory systems. It comprises the experiences and opinions of an international committee engaged in building regulatory system reform. It does not encompass every issue pertinent to performance systems. Rather, it outlines fundamental components, showcasing the experience of many countries involved in using performance-based systems. It includes feedback and research findings from these countries. The purpose of the Inter-jurisdictional Regulatory Collaboration Committee (IRCC) is to work internationally, producing documents on the development, implementation, and support of construction-related, performance-based regulatory systems.
