How to Identify International Council Codes (ICC)?

International Code Council (ICC) is a member-organized organization that develops "model codes and standards used in the design, building, and compliance process to construct safe, safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures"... it "provides minimum safegards"... [International Code Council]

ICC updates its codes on a regular basis.  A state may work with an earlier version of a code.  For example: International Building Code. See the Indiana Codes tab to identify the appropriate code which is found in Indiana Administrative Code.  The IAC outlines how Indiana implements the code.

  • Identify the year of the code that you need. Currently, Indiana works with the 2014 Indiana Building Code and the 2012 International Building Code.
  • Search for the international code in the Intertek Inform database.   

List of International Codes which may work with Indiana Codes

Indiana Codes are linked from a separate tab.  A state may work with a current or earlier version of an international code or a code from another organization.
