The International Code Council Releases 2024 IBC Essential Fire Safety Provisions Publication

The International Code Council has released the 2024 IBC Essential Fire Safety Provisions, published in both Spanish and English, to allow jurisdictions in Latin America to more easily adopt the International Codes. This publication has been specifically developed to support jurisdictions with outdated or limited regulations that have not yet adopted the I-Codes, providing a pathway to progressively strengthen fire safety provisions and facilitate phased code adoption. 

 The 2024 IBC Essential Fire Safety Provisions contains excerpts from the fire and life safety provisions in the 2024 International Building Code along with commentary prepared by fire protection engineer Jaime A. Moncada, PE, FPE. The commentary further enables jurisdictions to take a significant step towards improved fire and life safety in buildings.  

The development of the 2024 IBC Essential Fire Safety Provisions was supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration through its Market Development Cooperator Program 

Additional information can be found on the ICC website in both English and Spanish.
