ASHRAE and Code Interaction with TCs
The ASHRAE Standards Committee focuses on adoption in codes through its Code Interaction Subcommittee (CIS
) a subcommittee of Standards Committee.
All proposals and comments from ASHRAE must be approved by CIS.
TCs can provide positions on proposals and comments to CIS, which will become ASHRAE’s position on those proposals and comments.
Positions should be consistent with published ASHRAE content (i.e. Handbook Chapters)
Slide2ASHRAE and Code Interaction with TCs
ASHRAE is actively engaged in the development and maintenance of over 150 standards
The value in those standards is realized when they are adopted and used
CIS
works with other model code and standards writing organizations (IAPMO, ICC, NFPA) to have ASHRAE standards adopted in their documents
Many ASHRAE standards are adopted by reference
Slide3ASHRAE and Code Interaction with TCs
When
an ASHRAE standard is not written in mandatory
language or, where relevant, code intended language it
cannot be adopted by reference and
the criteria in the standard must
be adapted
for use in
the other
document
ASHRAE is working with standards project committees to ensure they will provide mandatory and code intended language in their standards
TCs can
support this effort by
being a resource to
ASHRAE Staff and Standards Committees in
the development of other standards and model codes
participate
in the standards and code development process of IAPMO, ICC and NFPA to foster their reliance on ASHRAE standards
