Code Development

Klausbruckner and Associates participates in the development of codes and standards relating to building uses and processes. By following the code process and participating at code hearings, Klausbruckner and Associates can better serve the needs of our clients.

When our clients manufacture or develop a product that is new to the code arena, Klausbruckner and Associates can provide code development resources, including client representation and preparation of code change proposals for submission to the code publishers.

We have been involved in the code development process for years ranging from client representation to holding high profile positions such as the ICC Fire Code Committee for several cycles or the NFPA 13 Code Committee. We have taught classes and encouraged participation in the code development process from both, members of the fire service as well as the business community. Members of our staff have years of experience in code committee participation including high piled storage and flammable/combustible liquids code committees [UFC Articles 79 and 81], NFPA standards including NFPA 30 [flammable/combustible liquids].

We work with a variety of industries and propose code changes on their behalf for a variety of businesses such as retail and biotech industries. We have authored manuals and chapters in fire code handbooks that are published by a variety of organizations such as ICC and Society of Fire Protection Engineer and ICBO.
