REASON:
Correlation between these sets of tables in the IFC and IBC is critical. There is no reason that the
tables need to be formatted differently or contain different wording. This proposal does not
change any requirements in the codes. It is editorial in nature and is designed to provide
uniformity and consistency for the requirements found in the sets of tables.
Parts 1 and 2 are editorial and only simplify the table.
Part 3 is needed to correlate with revisions made in Parts 1 and 2.
Part 4 alphabetizes the listings in the table and provides consistency in the header of the table.
The revisions in the footnotes provide identical wording to the wording in the IBC.
Part 5 restructures the footnotes to provide consistency for both the Health Hazard table and the
Physical Hazard table.
Part 6 duplicates the table from the IFC into the IBC.
Part 7 provides identical wording for the footnotes in the IBC as is found in the IFC.
Part 8 duplicates the table from the IFC into the IBC.
Part 9 provides identical wording for the footnotes in the IBC as is found in the IFC.
Cost Impact: The code change proposal will not increase the cost of construction.
