The International Code Council (ICC)

The International Code Council (ICC) is a nonprofit organization that develops and maintains building safety codes used in the U.S. and globally. These codes set the standards for designing, constructing, and maintaining buildings to ensure they are safe, healthy, energy-efficient, and accessible. The ICC’s codes cover major areas like structural integrity, fire safety, electrical systems, and plumbing. Building industry professionals, codes officials, and policymakers rely on these standards to promote consistent, high-quality construction practices, helping protect occupants and the public while supporting sustainable development.
