As previously reported, the ICC Committee Action Code Hearings are underway from October 23 – 31 at the Long Beach Convention Center. For those interested in viewing the Hearings that are taking actions on all proposals that will be considered for the 2027 editions of the Group A series of model codes that include International Fuel Gas, Building, Residential, Fire, Plumbing, Mechanical, Existing Building, codes, etc. The International Fuel Gas Code hearing is scheduled to begin as early as Sunday, October 27^th but will probably begin on Monday.  Of particular interest for natural gas applications are the modifications to FG11-24 Part 1 to add coverage for hydrogen blending into natural gas distribution systems.  In addition, modified proposals to the International Fire Code (IFC) F152-24 that provides“ guidance for Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) who seek to utilize fuel gas detection and limits installation to Residential (Group R)  new buildings”.  The proposed changes to F152-24 modifies the initial proposal that would mandate combustible gas detectors in new and existing residential buildings. (Note: This past week, the ICC Fire Code Change Committee voted to reject the proposal).  

Attached is information on accessing the live webcast to view the remainder of the committee hearings. Additionally, the results of each committee action code hearing are posted here Real Time CAH #2 Results.  All committee recommendations will then be presented to the full ICC voting eligible members (governmental members only)  for a final vote and based on the ballot results of the membership vote, proposals will be included, modified or rejected in the 2027 editions of the Group A ICC codes.
