2021 International Fire Code – IFC-2021
The 2021 International Fire Code® (IFC) establishes minimum fire safety standards for new and existing buildings, facilities, and operations. It covers fire prevention, life safety, hazardous materials, and responder protection, making it essential for jurisdictions managing building and fire code enforcement. Fully coordinated with the 2021 I-Codes, it supports a comprehensive regulatory framework.
Highlights:
- Adds fire safety provisions for industrial and non-industrial 3D printing (additive manufacturing)
- Regulates artificial combustible vegetation on rooftops and near buildings
- Expands emergency responder communication system requirements to newer technologies
- Clarifies sprinkler mandates for storage and sale of upholstered furniture and mattresses
- Requires sprinklers in open parking garages that exceed defined fire area thresholds
- Updates standards for installation and removal of energy storage systems (ESS)
- Introduces dedicated chapter for safe storage of distilled spirits and wines in barrels or casks
- Reinforces construction site fire safety with clear roles and planning protocols
Who It’s For:
Fire marshals, building officials, safety consultants, and facility managers responsible for fire code compliance and enforcement.

2021 International Fuel Gas Code – IFGC-2021
The 2021 International Fuel Gas Code® (IFGC) provides comprehensive requirements for the design and installation of fuel gas systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It governs piping, appliances, combustion air, chimneys, vents, and gaseous hydrogen systems, ensuring safe and efficient fuel gas usage across all occupancies. Fully aligned with the 2021 I-Code suite.
Highlights:
- Regulates natural gas systems up to 125 psig and LP-gas up to 20 psig from point of delivery to appliance shutoff
- Includes complete standards for gaseous hydrogen systems in Chapter 7
- Covers installation, combustion air, and venting for a wide range of fuel gas appliances
- Supports both prescriptive and engineered design methods for air supply, venting, and pipe sizing
- Provides appendices for gas pipe and vent sizing, inspection procedures, and appeals processes
- References updated technical standards from ASME, ANSI, AGA, CSA, and NFPA
- Revised administration chapter clarifies enforcement roles, jurisdictional edits, and appeals
Who It’s For:
Mechanical engineers, gas system designers, inspectors, code officials, and utility providers responsible for safe and compliant gas system installations.
