 Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the approval/withdrawal process for proposed changes?

    This public review addresses proposed changes to the National Model Codes. Once you have read them, you may submit comments, both negative and positive. All comments will be examined by the responsible technical standing committees. To view the possible list of outcomes based on comments received, see What Happens to the Comments?.


  2. What is a proposed change form?

    Proposed change forms are the vehicle used by the standing committees of the CCBFC to indicate the nature of the proposed technical change, the wording proposed, the problem it addresses and how it does so, the cost/benefit and enforcement implications, and how the proposed change meets the objectives of the National Model Codes. To view a field-by-field description of the proposed change form, see the Sample Form.


  3. What are updated referenced documents?

    The National Model Codes reference documents whose content is regularly updated and published. In order to remain current, the references to these documents in the Codes have to be revised for the next Code editions.
