In which year was ICC established as a nonprofit organization?

  1. 1992

  2. 1994

  3. 1996

  4. 2000

The correct answer is: 1994

The International Code Council (ICC) was established as a nonprofit organization in 1994, which reflects its commitment to developing a comprehensive set of building codes to improve construction practices and safety standards. This year marked the beginning of an initiative aimed at unifying and standardizing building code regulations across the United States, which had been varied and sometimes conflicting. Understanding the ICC's establishment is critical for permit technicians since the codes developed by the ICC play a significant role in the permitting processes and ensuring compliance with safety regulations in construction and building management.
