The International Code Council has been re-accredited for its ANSI Standard Development activities under the ICC Consensus Procedures. The ANSI audit covers the development of ICC standards completed since the last audit in 2009. It includes a review of all documentation related to the ICC Consensus Procedures and the ANSI Essential Requirements. The audit report states ICC:      • Makes substantial efforts to resolve all comments/objections and ensure that consensus is achieved.      • Conducts consensus ballots and public review concurrently, shortening the time required to approve a standard.      • Has an oversight body charged with providing a review of proposed standards development activities.      • Has a well-developed system for tracking and managing the standards development process.      • Effectively uses its website to provide information about its standards and standards development process.      • Has an appeals policy. There have been no appeals to ICC of the ICC American National Standards during the audit period.      • Participates on ANSI boards and councils, such as ANSI Organization Member Forum, Electric Vehicles Standards Panel and Energy Efficiency Standards Coordination Collaborative.      • ICC is competent and knowledgeable concerning its standards development process and ANSI requirements. ICC publishes and administers the development of several standards including the A117.1 Accessibility Standard, the ICC/NSSA Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters, the Standard for Residential Construction in High-Wind Regions, the Landscape Irrigation Sprinkler and Emitter Standard, and the Standard on the Design and Construction of Log Structures.
