Architecture, Engineering
& Construction (AEC) Referenced Standards Collections - The AEC
Referenced Standards collections are a comprehensive and easy-to-use source
of standards and other technical information referenced in the Mode I-Codes.
Codes cannot readily address in detail every specialty area of construction
methods and materials, so they address a multiplicity of authoritative
resources on a subject, some of which are standards. Standards supplement
the Code by setting forth conditions or requirements to which a method
or material must adhere. This compliance provides an acceptable level
of safety for building occupants. The IHS Referenced Standards Collections
cover all aspects of the design, engineering, and construction process.

American Concrete Institute (ACI) - ACI documents are used by both
government and industry involved in engineering, design, construction,
placement and maintenance of concrete structures, including buildings,
highways, bridges and other heavy construction. The ACI Publications Collection
includes active Standards, Technical Committee Reports, Compilations,
Special Publications, Symposium Proceedings and Concrete Manuals. Learn

ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) - The ASME BPVC establishes
rules of safety governing the design, fabrication, maintenance and inspection
of boilers and pressure vessels, power producing machines (and associated
subsystems) and nuclear power plant components. Originating in 1914, the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is now adopted in part or in its
entirety by 49 states and numerous municipalities and territories of the
United States and all the provinces of Canada. The ASME BPVC is available
in the sections outlined below, Code Cases, Interpretations, and ASME
Referenced Standards. This allows you to subscribe to the entire collection
or only those sections you frequently need to reference.

2006 ICC I-Codes
Online
With the online IHS subscription to the 2006 ICC I-Codes you have immediate
access to the full-text Codes, Full-text searching, powerful indexing
software, bookmarks and internal links for rapid searching and easy retrieval.
ICC codes provide code enforcement officials, architects, engineers, designers,
and contractors with a consistent set of requirements for use throughout
the United States. Manufacturers are able to focus their efforts into
research and development rather than designing to three different sets
of standards (BOCA, ICBO, and SBCCI). The ICC codes will hopefully encourage
states and localities that currently write their own codes or amend the
model codes to begin adopting the International Codes without technical
amendments. All of these codes are comprehensive and coordinated with
each other to provide the appropriate package for adoption and use in
the 21st Century, leading to consistent code enforcement and higher quality
construction.

The National Electrical
Contractor's Association (NECA)
Used by code officials, engineers and other personnel involved in the
design, build or maintenance of a construction project, the National Electrical
Installation Standards (NEIS), developed by NECA in partnership with other
industry organizations, are the first performance standards for electrical
construction. They go beyond the basic safety requirements of the National
Electrical Code to clearly define what is meant by installing products
and systems in a "neat and workmanlike" manner. Referencing
NEIS saves spec-writing time, provides control over workmanship and ensures
long-term performance. As part of a contract document, NEIS significantly
reduces misunderstandings among engineers, electrical contractors, owners
and facility managers.

The US National CAD Standard (NCS)
The NCS coordinates the efforts of the building design and construction
industry by classifying electronic building design data consistently,
allowing streamlined communication among owners and design and construction
project teams. This results in reducing the costs of developing and maintaining
individual office standards, and transferring building data from design
applications to facility management applications. The National CAD Standard
also offers greater efficiency in the design and construction process.
