Which code development organization is not among the original three model code organizations?

  1. International Building Code Organization

  2. Building Officials and Code Administrators

  3. Uniform Building Code Association

  4. International Association of Electrical Inspectors

The correct answer is: International Association of Electrical Inspectors

The International Association of Electrical Inspectors is not one of the original three model code organizations that played a foundational role in the development of building and safety codes. Originally, the model code system was built around three main organizations: the Building Officials and Code Administrators (BOCA), the Uniform Building Code Association (UBC), and the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI). These organizations were pivotal in establishing uniformity in building regulations, ensuring safety across different jurisdictions. The International Association of Electrical Inspectors, while an important organization focused specifically on electrical code compliance and safety, was not one of the foundational model code organizations. This distinction is important for understanding the landscape of building code development and the roles each organization plays in shaping safety regulations at state and local levels.
