I-Codes Development
and cdpACCESS
©
• Beginning with the 2015/2017 Code Development Cycle, ICC
will begin utilizing their new online system called
cdpACCESS
©
• This new system will give stakeholders the ability to:
 create code changes and public comments in the cloud,
 collaborate with other stakeholders on code changes,
 view proposed code changes before they are submitted
 governmental members will now have the ability to vote
remotely on code changes.
• Now – more than ever - BOMA Associations will need to
engage their local officials and make their positions known.
I-Codes Development
•
The International Code Council (ICC) is dedicated to a single
family of comprehensive and coordinated model codes.
•
The ICC code development process allows all interested
parties to actively participate in code development process.
•
The ICC Governmental Consensus Process places the final vote
with those administering, formulating or enforcing regulations
relating to public health, safety and welfare.
•
ICC publish their codes every three years and develop them in
Groups.
