6、 profileComposite Default screenPREFACEIntroductionOhio code users please note that the 2011 Ohio Mechanical Code is based on the 2009 International Mechanical Code (IMC). Inter-nationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date mechanical code addressing the design and installat

7、ion ofmechanical systems through requirements emphasizing performance. The International Mechanical Code, in this 2009 edition, isdesigned to meet these needs through model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, largeand small.This comprehensive mechanical c

8、ode establishes minimum regulations for mechanical systems using prescriptive and perfor-mance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new mechanicaldesigns. This 2009 edition is fully compatible with all the International Codes (“I

9、-Codes”) published by the International CodeCouncil (ICC), including the International Building Code, International Energy Conservation Code, International ExistingBuilding Code, International Fire Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Plumbing Code, ICC PerformanceCode, International Pri

10、vate Sewage Disposal Code, International Property Maintenance Code, International ResidentialCode, International Urban-Wildland Interface Codeand International Zoning Code.The International Mechanical Code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model code development process thatoffers

11、 an international forum for mechanical professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forumprovides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in the applica-tion of provisions.DevelopmentThe first edition

12、 of the International Mechanical Code (1996) was the culmination of an effort initiated in 1994 by a developmentcommittee appointed by the ICC and consisting of representatives of the three statutory members of the International Code Councilat that time, including: Building Officials and Code Admini

13、strators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Build-ing Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI). The intent was to draft a comprehensive set ofregulations for mechanical systems consistent with and inclusive of the scope of the existing model cod

14、es. Technical content of thelatest model codes promulgated by BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI was utilized as the basis for the development. This 2009 edition pres-ents the code as originally issued, with changes approved through the ICC Code Development Process through 2008. A new editionsuch as this is promu

15、lgated every 3 years.This code is founded on principles intended to establish provisions consistent with the scope of a mechanical code that adequatelyprotects public health, safety and welfare; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do notrestrict the use

16、of new materials, products or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treatment to par-ticular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction.AdoptionSee Section 101 GENERAL. The effective date of this code throughout Ohio is November 1, 2011.Mainten

17、anceThe International Mechanical Code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submitted by code enforcing offi-cials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties. Proposed changes are carefully considered throughan open code development process in wh

18、ich all interested and affected parties may participate.The contents of this work are subject to change both through the Code Development Cycles and the governmental body thatenacts the code into law. For more information regarding the code development process, contact the Code and Standard Develop-

19、ment Department of the International Code Council.While the development procedure of the International Mechanical Code assures the highest degree of care, ICC and ICCs mem-bers and those participating in the development of this code do not accept any liability resulting from compliance or noncomplia

20、ncewith the provisions because ICC and its members do not have the power or authority to police or enforce compliance with the con-tents of this code. Only the governmental body that enacts the code into law has such authority.Text NotationsItalic text indicates where Ohio has modified the ICC model

22、ileComposite Default screenCoordination between the International Building and Fire CodesBecause the coordination of technical provisions is one of the benefits of adopting the ICC family of model codes, users will find theICC codes to be a very flexible set of model documents. To accomplish this fl

23、exibility some technical provisions are duplicated insome of the model code documents. While the International Codes are provided as a comprehensive set of model codes for the builtenvironment, documents are occasionally adopted as a stand-alone regulation. When one of the model documents is adopted

24、 as thebasis of a stand-alone code, that code should provide a complete package of requirements with enforcement assigned to the entityfor which the adoption is being made.The model codes can also be adopted as a family of complimentary codes. When adopted together there should be no conflict ofany

25、of the technical provisions. When multiple model codes are adopted in a jurisdiction it is important for the adopting authority toevaluate the provisions in each code document and determine how and by which agency(ies) they will be enforced. It is important,therefore, to understand that where techni

26、cal provisions are duplicated in multiple model documents that enforcement duties mustbe clearly assigned by the local adopting jurisdiction. ICC remains committed to providing state-of-the-art model code documentsthat, when adopted locally, will reduce the cost to government of code adoption and en
