From the Introduction Code Check Complete is a compilation of the four
individual Code Check field guides to the building codes: Building,
Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical.
This book is intended for building inspectors, design-professionals,
plan reviewers, contractors, home inspectors, educators, and
do-it-yourself home owners. The primary code used in the first three
sections (Building, Plumbing, and HVAC) is the 2006 International
Residential Code, the most widely adopted residential code in the United
States. The electrical section is based on the National Electrical Code,
the oldest and most widely used electrical code. Several other codes are
referenced in the Plumbing and HVAC sections, including the Uniform Codes
that are used in many parts of the country.
The major codes are updated on a three-year cycle. Since the first
edition, the Code Check field guide (flip-chart format) has been updated
with each code cycle, and the current "combination" book is in its 5th
edition. Building jurisdictions do not always adopt a code during the
calendar year of publication, and some actually lag several years behind.
These books can still be used in areas where older codes apply, thanks to
the "code changes" featured at the end of each section. Significant
changes are highlighted throughout the text and summarized there, and
users of older codes are alerted to items for which the most current code
does not apply.
