Over the past two weeks, NRMCA joined fellow organizational members of the Alliance for Concrete Codes and Standards (ACCS) at the second round of the International Code Council (ICC) Group B Committee Action Hearings held in Cleveland. NRMCA Codes and Standards team members Darryl Dixon, Julian Mills-Beale and Shamim Rashid-Sumar provided testimony on issues impacting the concrete industry, including combustibility testing requirements for non-combustible materials, provisions for 3D printed concrete and prescriptive limits for embodied carbon among other topics. The hearings began on Wednesday, October 22, and conclude this week.
Build With Strength is a coalition led by NRMCA that promotes standards advocacy to leverage policies promoting safety and resiliency and help place more concrete. For more information on codes and standards advocacy efforts, contact Shamim Rashid-Sumar at ssumar@nrmca.org.
