9、duction Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modem, up-to-date mechanical code addressing the design and installation of me- chanical systems through requirements emphasizing performance. The International Mechanicd Code, in this third edition, is designed to meet these needs thr
10、ough model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, large and small. This comprehensive mechanical code establishes minimum regulations for mechanical systems using prescriptive and performance- related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that
11、make possible the use of new materials and new mechanical designs. Addi- tionally, the International Mechanical Code is designed to be compatible with the entire family of international Codes published by the In- ternational Code Council. The International Mechanical Code provides many benefits, amo
12、ng which is the model code development process that offers an inter- national forum for mechanical professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forum provides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency i
13、n the application of provisions. Development The first edition of the International Mechanical Code was published in 1996 after an extensive process of selection, coordination and ar- rangement of numerous considerations and initial preparations by a development committee appointed by and consisting
14、 of representa- tives of BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI. The intent was to draft a comprehensive set of regulations for mechanical systems consistent with and inclusive of the scope and content of the existing model mechanical codes which incorporate the common mechanical code format estab- lished by the Coun
15、cil of American Building Officials. This format establishes the title, scope, and sequence of the chapters and does not in- volve the order or content of the provisions within the chapter. Technical content of the latest mechanical codes promulgated by BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI was utilized as the basis
16、for the develop- ment of this code. While there were a great many similarities among the three codes, careful consideration was given to identified differ- ences. The principles utilized in the original development of this code were based on the intent to establish provisions consistent with the sco
17、pe of a mechanical code that adequately protects public health, safety and welfare; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase con- struction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of new materials, products or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treatmen
18、t to particular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction. This third edition incorporates ap- proved changes to the 1998 edition from the 1998 and 1999 ICC Code Development Cycles. Marginal Markings Solid vertical lines in the margins within the body of the code indicate a
19、change from the requirements of the 1998 edition except where a change was minor. Deletion indicators (e) are provided in the margin where aparagraph or item listing has been deleted if the deletion re- sulted in a change of requirements. Letter Designations in Front of Section Numbers In each code
20、development cycle, proposed changes to this code are considered at the First Public Hearing by the International Mechanical Code Development Committee, whose action constitutes a recommendation to the voting membership for final action on the proposed change. Proposed changes to a code section whose
21、 number begins with a letter in brackets are considered by a different code development committee. For instance, proposed changes to code sections which have the letter FI in front (e.g., FI 502.2), are considered by the Inter- national Fire Code Development Committee at the First Public Hearing. Wh
22、ere this designation is applicable to the entire content of a main section of the code, the designation appears at the main section number and title and is not repeated at every subsection in that section. The content of sections in this code which begin with a letter designation are maintained by a
23、nother code development committee in ac- cordance with the following: BI = International Building Code Development Committee; FI = International Fire Code Development Committee; PMI = International Property Maintenance Code Development Committee; PI = International Plumbing Code Development Committe
24、e; RBE = International Residential Code Building and Energy Development Committee; RMP = International Residential Code Mechanical/Plumbing Development Committee; E = International Energy Conservation Code Development Committee; and EL = ICC Electrical Code Development Committee. Adoption The intern
25、ational Mechanical Code is available for adoption and use by jurisdictions internationally. Its use within a governmentaljuns- diction is intended to be accomplished through adoption by reference in accordance with proceedings establishing the jurisdictions laws. At the time of adoption, jurisdictio
26、ns should insert the appropriate information in provisions requiring specific local information, such as the name of the adopting jurisdiction. These locations are shown in bracketed words in small capital letters in the code and in the sample adoption ordinance. The sample adoption ordinance on pag
27、e v addresses several key elements of a code adoption ordinance, including the information required for insertion into the code text. 2000 INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE iii Copyright Building Officials and Code Administrators International Inc.
