>From "the other guys" email update- I think we're united front on this one: ICC Appeals Board Denies Homebuilders' Claim Thursday, December 11, 2008, Patterson, New York - Earlier today the International Code Council Appeals Board met in Chicago to determine if there were any improprieties or procedural violations leading up to and during the vote by members of the International Code Council (ICC) at its hearing in Minneapolis in September that resulted in fire sprinklers being adopted into the body of the International Residential Code (IRC). NFSA's Manager of Codes Jeff Hugo was in attendance at the ICC Appeals Board hearing and reported this afternoon that by a unanimous vote of 3-0, the Appeals Board denied the homebuilders' claim that the fire sprinkler industry engaged in practices in violation of ICC established procedures. After receiving the news about the ICC Appeals Board decision, NFSA President John Viniello said, "As the fire sprinkler industry's leading membership organization, we are extremely pleased at the outcome of this hearing. It reinforces that the members of the ICC recognize that fire sprinklers need to play an integral role in the protection of life from fire within the home." -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Terri Leyton Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 4:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: ICC Appeal Hearing News Appeals Board unanimously votes that they find no violation of ICC rules concerning process or procedure and no violation of ICC rules on balance of vote.
