Citation Technologies and the International Code Council Partner to Develop New Web Portal
Updated System Will Allow for Online Access to Building Codes
| Source: Citation Technologies
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - October 14, 2008) - Citation Technologies, Inc. and the
International Code Council (ICC) today announce a partnership to create a
Web portal that allows efficient access to ICC's collection of
international, state and legacy codes and standards for building safety and
fire-prevention professionals. The updated system, Premium eCodes, will
provide users a number of different formats, including downloadable PDFs,
printable options and immediate access to codes and regulations online.
The new Premium eCodes software integrates codes and internal policies into
a single, electronic format, which helps building professionals manage
cost-saving and safety efforts. Safe buildings are achieved through proper
design and construction practices in concert with a code administration
program that ensures compliance. The ICC's programs establish uniformity
in the construction industry, which allows materials manufacturers to
conduct business on a larger scale and pass the savings along to the
consumer.
This system update will transition the four-year-old software from the old
folio format to the Web portal system and will contain the last three
International coding and standards upgrades from 2006, 2003 and 2000, which
include over 300 different documents. Premium eCodes will feature several
tools, including a powerful index and search system, document comparison,
annotation editor and other customizable options. Both members and
nonmembers will be able to retrieve international, state and local adopted
codes through Premium eCodes, thus providing a large population of
architects, engineers, fire officials, contractors and the like, greater
accessibility.
