Which organization developed the IBC model building code?

• A. International Code Council (ICC)
• B. FM Approvals
• C. Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
• D. Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC)

Answer: (A)

The IBC is a model building code developed by the International Code Council. This organization publishes the International Building Code as part of a family of codes that jurisdictions adopt and adapt to regulate safety in design and construction. The IBC sets minimum requirements for areas like structural integrity, fire protection, and egress, and is updated on a regular cycle through input from professionals and the public. The other organizations listed focus on certification, testing, or Canadian standards, not the development of the IBC itself.
