VII

Four part act – III deals with public accommodations & commercial facilities Described by ADAAG for accessible routes, restrooms, breakrooms New version pending – ICC/ANSI tied to this new version but is not law yet IBC and NFPA5000 have sections that refer to ICC/ANSI

Fair Housing Act by HUD and their Fair Housing Acessibility Guide (FHAG) A Residential Version of the ADA (buying or renting) B ICC came up with Code Requirements for Housing Accessibility so it can be enforced

STANDARDS are referenced by CODES which are adopted by a JURISDICTION and become LAW VIII

Common Standards Associations A NFPA – started doing sprinklers & mostly fire stuff B ANSI – generally approves standards established by others – ICC/ANSI A117.1 C ASTM – does not test* D UL – does test* E ASHRAE – rarely referenced – job out.

*Will use existing standards or write their own if needed. – Both have “Code Referenced Volumes”
