IRC Topic at ICC Fall Conference
The International Code
Council (ICC) rejected modification of the International Residential Code (IRC)
at its meeting on May 22, 2007 in Rochester, New York, that would have required
fire sprinklers in one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses.
Although more
than half the voting members favored inclusion of fire sprinkler requirements
in the IRC supplement, the total vote was shy of the two-thirds majority needed
to pass the motion.
The
issue will be addressed at a final action hearing during the ICC’s
Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota in September. Only government
members of the International Code Council will be eligible to vote.
