The 2021 International Fire Code is a comprehensive reference for fire prevention, life safety, emergency preparedness, and hazard control in new and existing buildings, facilities, storage areas, and industrial processes.
Published by the International Code Council, the IFC provides coordinated requirements intended to reduce the risk of fire, explosion, and related hazards. It addresses general fire-safety precautions, emergency planning, fire department access, water supplies, fire-protection systems, alarm and detection systems, hazardous materials, and special operations.
The code is useful throughout the life of a building. Designers and contractors may consult it during planning and construction, while inspectors, facility managers, and safety personnel can use it when evaluating operations, storage arrangements, emergency procedures, and ongoing compliance.
Important subjects include automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarms, emergency responder communications, means of access for fire departments, combustible storage, flammable and combustible liquids, hazardous production materials, energy-storage systems, and safeguards during construction. The 2021 edition also added or revised provisions involving additive manufacturing, upholstered furniture and mattress storage, open parking garages, energy-storage technologies, barrel and cask storage, and construction site-safety responsibilities.
This book is well suited to fire inspectors, fire marshals, code officials, architects, engineers, contractors, building owners, facility managers, safety professionals, instructors, and students. It can support plan review, inspections, permit work, risk assessment, training, and examination preparation where the 2021 IFC is specified.
Because model-code adoption and local amendments vary, buyers should confirm that the 2021 edition applies to their jurisdiction, project, course, employer, or certification examination.
