The new, 42nd edition of ASTM Standards in Building Codes, now available for purchase from ASTM International, provides the tools to design and construct buildings that satisfy international code requirements established by the International Code Council (ICC). ICC is comprised of the Building Officials and Code Administrators International (BOCA), the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI), and the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO).

The standards help: meet international code requirements, users stay informed and remain competitive, specify the right material for the job, understand the significance and use of building standards, and speak a common language.
