design and construction consists of building codes and standards
covering local, state, federal, land use, and environmental regulations which are developed specifically for the purpose
of regulating the life-safety, health and welfare of the public. Once adopted, building codes
Maintained by David Eifler, Interim Head, Environmental Design Library. Updated by Jaye Fishel. Content reviewed: October 2011.
The Uniform Building Code was first enacted by the Pacific Coast Building Officials (now International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO)) on October 18-21, 1927. Revised editions of this code are published approximately every 3 years. The California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24) was created in 1978 as an amalgamation and reorganization of existing codes. The new national code is the International
Building Code (IBC) first produced in 2000 by the International Code Council (ICC). It combines the three model building codes published by BOCA (Building Officials Code Administrators),
ICBO (International Conference of Building Officials) and SBCCI (Southern Building Code Congress International). Check with the specific community planning or building
department to find out which codes apply to your project.
The 2010 Triennial Edition of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (California Building Standards Code) applies to all occupancies that applied for a building permit on or after January 1, 2011, and remains in effect until the effective date of the 2013 triennial edition. Some codes available online as PDF files.

Code names can be confusing if not understood correctly.
California Building Standards Law: This name refers to the body of state law within California Health and Safety Code, Division 13, Part 2.5, commencing with Section 18901. The provisions of Part 2.5 govern the work of the California Building Standards Commission and how the codes adopted and published by the CBSC apply. The provisions of Part 2.5 are state laws enacted through the legislative process involving the state legislature and Governor. See Health and Safety Code Section 18901.
California Building Standards Code: This name refers to the building standards located in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations as published by the California Building Standards Commission. The building standards in the California Building Standards Code are state regulations adopted by various state agencies in the Executive Branch of state government. State laws require various state agencies to develop building standards for specific types of buildings, building equipment and features. See Health and Safety Code Section 18902.
California Building Code: This name refers to Part 2 of the California Building Standards Code in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. It should not be confused with the California Building Standards Code, which is the name given to the entire body of building standards in Title 24. Again the California Building Code is just Part 2 within Title 24, the California Building Standards Code. (California Building Standards Commission. (2010) Guide to Title 24, California Building Standards Code, 2010.) Current
