9、 Swimming Pool and Spa Code provisions provide many benefits, among whichis the model code development process that offers an international forum for code officials, designprofessionals, pool and industry representatives and other interested parties to discuss perfor-mance and prescriptive code requ

10、irements relative to pool and spa safety. This forum provides anexcellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international con-sistency in the application of provisions.DevelopmentThe 2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code is the culmination of an effort that

11、started in2010 with the drafting of Public Version 1.0 by the Swimming Pool Code Drafting Committee(SPCDC) established by the ICC Board of Directors, with The Association of Pool provisionsthat do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of newmaterials,

12、 products or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treat-ment to particular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction.AdoptionThe International Code Council maintains a copyright in all of its codes and standards. Maintainingcopyright allows I

13、CC to fund its mission through sales of books, in both print and electronic formats.The International Swimming Pool and Spa Code is designed for adoption and use by jurisdictionsthat recognize and acknowledge the ICCs copyright in the code, and further acknowledge the sub-stantial shared value of th

14、e public/private partnership for code development between jurisdictionsand the ICC.iv 2015 INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING POOL AND SPA CODEThe ICC also recognizes the need for jurisdictions to make laws available to the public.

15、vailable for free in a non-downloadable form on the ICCs website. Jurisdictions should contact the ICC at adoptionsicc-safe.org to learn how to adopt and distribute laws based on the International Swimming Pool andSpa Code in a manner that provides necessary access, while maintaining the ICCs copyri

16、ght.MaintenanceThe International Building Code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submit-ted by code enforcing officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interestedparties.

19、pliance with the provisions because the ICC doesnot have the power or authority to police or enforce compliance with the contents of this code.Only the governmental body that enacts the code into law has such authority.Code Development Committee Responsibilities(Letter Designations in Front of Secti

20、on Numbers)In each code development cycle, proposed changes to this code are considered at the Commit-tee Action Hearing by the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code Development Committee,whose action constitutes a recommendation to the voting membership for final action on the pro-posed change.

21、Proposed changes to a code section that has a number beginning with a letter inbrackets are considered by a different code development committee. For example, proposedchanges to code sections that have A in front of them (e.g., A 102.1) are considered by theAdministrative Code Development Committee

22、at the Committee Action Hearings.The content of sections in this code that begin with a letter designation is maintained by anothercode development committee in accordance with the following:A = Administrative Code Development Committee; andBS = IBC Structural Code Development CommitteeFor the devel

23、opment of the 2018 edition of the I-Codes, there will be three groups of code devel-opment committees and they will meet in separate years.

24、ode Development Committee noted in brackets in the text of the code.Code change proposals submitted for code sections that have a letter designation in front ofthem will be heard by the respective committee responsible for such code sections.
