Wisconsin Commercial Building and Fire Prevention Codes changes in 2008

In November, 2007, Wisconsin adopted changes to the Wisconsin Commercial Building and Fire Prevention Codes. The changes are expected to go into effect March 1, 2008. The Commercial Building Code, now numbered Comm 60-66, adopts the 2006 editions of the International Building Code, the International Energy Conservation Code, the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code. The Fire Prevention Code, Comm 14, now adopts the 2006 edition of the National Fire Prevention Code, NFPA 1.

The 2006 ICC codes and commentary can currently be purchased from www.iccsafe.org. S&B recommends getting the 3-hole punched format. The Safety and Building Division intends to create special 3-hole punched pages intended to be inserted into the ICC codes. These pages would have the relevant Wisconsin sections and will be numbered for insertion in the appropriate places in the ICC codes. More information about those pages should be available in late January. Watch the S&B WebSite Home Page for the news or subscribe to the commercial buildings email group.

The 2006 NFPA 1 is available from http://www.nfpa.org.

In recent years, ICC and the Safety and Buildings Division have created and printed an "Enrolled Code" containing both the adopted ICC code sections and the Wisconsin Commercial Buildings Code sections. There will NOT be another Enrolled Code created to reflect the 2008 changes.

It is expected that the regular format Wisconsin code version of Comm 60-66 and Comm 14 will be available in February 2008. Wisconsin codes and update services can be purchased from the Document Sales and Distribution office of the Wisconsin Department of Administration. Document Sales does offer an update service, for a fee, to provide copies of any state code revisions during a subscribed period of time.
