Welcome to March 2023, PM Engineer readers! Thank you for spending this part of your day with me as I discuss important changes to a code development process.
Building and safety codes are near and dear to my heart as they, undoubtedly, have a significant impact on public health, safety and welfare. Buildings in every jurisdiction in the United States use some version of building and safety codes. In addition, building and safety codes cover most products manufactured for the building and construction industries. Finally, the fastest way to achieve U.S. market access is to meet the requirements of the building and safety codes.
