Draft 9th edition of the Building Code approved by BBRS

7/1/2015

0 Comments

 
The purpose of this notice is to advise the building industry and other interested parties of the 9th edition code status and specifically to note that, when it is finally approved and becomes effective, there will not be a concurrency period with the 8th edition code requirements. Currently, it is expected that the 9th edition will become effective sometime before mid-2016.

On June 9, 2015 the Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) completed a year-long effort by approving a draft 9th edition building code (780 CMR) based on the 2015 I-Codes as published by the International Code Council (ICC).  However, during its August 11, 2015 meeting, BBRS members decided to take a second look at certain chapters particular to fire protection systems.  Consequently, Chapters 4, 9, 34 and 51 were forwarded to members of the Fire-Prevention\Fire Protection (FPFP) Committee for further review.  FPFP members will review portions of these chapters relative to lessons learned from recent large-loss fires to determine if there may be further modifications should be made prior to the public hearing.  Any proposed changes resulting from this process are due back to the BBRS by its October 13, 2015 meeting.   READ MORE
