New Product Technology• New products end up in construction projects,
requiring approval by the code official.
• Adopted codes and standards tend to lag behind new technology development and deployment.
• It can be difficult for building departments to determine if new building products and materials meet minimum building code requirements.
• Both the IBC and IRC contain performance provisions for the use of alternative products.
![Page 48: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/568139cf550346895da18040/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Code Basis for Alternative Products
Alternative Materials and Products:
IBC Section 104.11 provides the code official with a means to accept the use of any material or product not specifically prescribed in the code.
![Page 49: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/568139cf550346895da18040/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Code Provisions for Acceptanceof Products/Technology
IBC Section 104.11: Alternative materials, design, and methods of construction and equipment:
“The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any material or to prohibit any design or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved.”
![Page 50: INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/568139cf550346895da18040/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Code Provisions for Acceptanceof Products/Technology
IBC Section 104.11.1:
“Research reports from approved sources may be accepted by the building official as supporting data to assist in the approval of materials or assemblies not specifically prescribed by the code.”
It is up to the building official to determine which “research reports” will be used to approve products.
