INSTRUCTIONS - Here's what's involved in reviewing
a section:
The sections to be reviewed are listed on the left side (yellow
column) of the site under the heading "Technical Topics" (just point and click
on them).
· Go to the section you're listed to review,
· Click on each link in that section (they are in blue and underlined),
· Make note of any links that don't work.
· NOTE: for some links there are additional instructions written in red. These should be
checked for accuracy too.
· IF YOU FIND A LINK THAT DOESN'T WORK: Try to find the address of the "missing link" and

Proposal to Change
International Mechanical Code (IMC) Section 510 - Hazardous Exhaust Systems (top)
In December 2002, the AIHA Laboratory Health and Safety
Committee developed a position paper and code change
proposal regarding section 510 of the International Mechanical Code – Hazardous
Exhaust Systems. The proposal, (M55-03/04),
was presented at the September 2003 IMC Committee Hearing. The IMC published hearing results which indicated that the code change was denied. The committee indicated that objections to code change
language were not based on technical disagreement, but based on concerns about
enforceability of the new proposed language. IMC/ICC personnel offered to work with AIHA,
the code change proponent, to jointly craft enforceable language.
The ICC process includes a public comment period to
allow the public to express their agreement or disagreement with the code committee’s
findings on the proposals presented at the public hearing. This comment period ended January 14, 2004. During the public comment period there were eleven public comments
submitted in support of changing section 510 as it pertains to laboratories. These were
published in the 2004
ICC Final Action Agenda. Public Comment #4 on page 81 represents a cooperative effort by the AIHA proponent and ICC/IMC code
officials to develop compromise language which would be enforceable by local code
officials and acceptable by the IMC committee.
On May 17 – 20, 2004, at the ICC Final Action
Hearing at the Sheraton Hotel in
Overland Park
,
KS
, ICC Code Officials voted to
incorporate the wording of Public Comment #4 into the code. This change in wording will be reflected in a 2004 code
supplement.
