Policy is now that these devices are not required to be filed with Plan Review Division. At last review, it contained 10 pages of wide-ranging topics, from certification to practical applications of the codes in the field. It costs nothing to register. The newsletter now sports the international environmental symbol for recycling. The amount of newsletters being printed has also been reduced, while readership is on the incline.
Many readers now receive their newsletters via e-mail, which also keeps printing costs down.
A new concept in listening to our readers is now available. We will be taking a straw vote each month to air your views on code issues. Reply with Yes or No , and any brief editorial comments you wish to make on the subject. Simply e-mail or write the editor at the addresses on back of the Code Explorer . Since March 8, an open letter has been circulated to Building Officials from Plan Review Division.
