Codes and Standards Development, Member Services Remain ICC Focus International Code Council 2014 Year in Review The International Code Council entered into its second decade as a consolidated association with a continued focus on the development of codes and standards. The Code Council also took a renewed approach to serving its Members through the reengineering of its certification and training offerings and the introduction of the new Preferred Provider Program. The ICC Group, which includes the ICC Evaluation Service and the International Accreditation Service, expanded in 2014, as well, through the consolidation with the Solar Rating & Certification Corporation. For more information on these and other programs, view the 2014 ICC Annual Report. Following are some of the highlights from the Code Council this year. |
