Posted 9/26/24:

Availability of Certification Exams based on 2018 ICC Codes are coming to a close...

The last day to purchase an ICC exam based on any of the 2018 codes will be December 31st.....but after paying for the exam, you have one year to take it (after the date of purchase).

Purchasing to take an exam on or after January 1st will require that you choose the exam based on the 2021 or 2024 edition of the code and whatever referenced standards are adopted by the edition of the code you choose for the examination.

Posted 5/16/24: Recently, there has been inaccurate information being disseminated in the Commonwealth regarding the adoption of the 2021 Accessibility Provisions, including adoption of the 2017 edition of the ICC A117.1 standard, based on the UCC Review and Advisory Council's review of the 2021 codes and its anticipated report to the Department of Labor and Industry as to the adoption of the 2021 codes and standards for the Commonwealth, which are intended to take effect later in 2025.

The Department of Labor and Industry has confirmed that this is in error. See below:

The UCC RAC does not have jurisdiction to review accessibility provisions of the code. We have no mechanism in place to move to the 2021 provisions or to use the 2017 A117.1 standard.
