Item/Subjech Chapter VII, Article J- International Mechanical Code
Responsible Department: Community and Economic Development -Code Enforcement Division
Commentary:
This order updates out mechanical code by adopting the 1996 International Mechanical Code. We delayed
updating this code in anticipation of the three major code authorities, in the US., BOCA, SCR and UBC
joining together to produce a single mechanical code which would be recognized internationally. These
three entities are now working towards a uniform building code which is expected to be published In 20W.
The format chosen, by the International Code Committee, was the format historically used in the BOCA
Mechanical Code. Local result professionals, farm Far with fie BOCA Mechanical Code, should find the
change no greater than he standard B year revision ctcle.
