You will also benefit from NRCA's explanations of the compliance requirements specifically applicable to roof assemblies, as well as appendixes that explain the roofing-related provisions, as well as the National Fire Protection Association's fire code and standard for safeguarding construction, alteration and demolition operation.

The 2012 International Building Code covers all buildings except detached one- and two-family dwelling and townhouses not more than 3 stories in height. Previous editions of the IBC have been adopted at the state or local level in all 50 United States and Washington, D.C. ICC also has prepared earthquake spectral response acceleration maps in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey; Building Seismic Safety Council; Federal Emergency Management Agency; and E.V. Leyendecker, A.D. Frankel, and K.S. Rukstales of the U.S. Geological Survey that will assist you with the building and residential codes.
