Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 748 - Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission › Chapter 20 - Adopted Codes › Subchapter 4 - IFC[®] 2015 › Section 748:20-4-7 - IFC[®] 2018 Chapter 2 Definitions

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Chapter 2 of the Oklahoma adopted IFC® 2018 is adopted
				  with the following modifications:
(1)
				The definition of [BG] ACCESSORY STORAGE SPACES has been modified to correct
				errata published by the ICC, in the printing of the definition. The definition
				has been modified to read: [BG] ACCESSORY STORAGE SPACES. A room or space used
				for storage purposes that is accessory to another occupancy shall be classified
				as part of that occupancy.
(2) The
				definition of an AUTHORITY HAVING JURISIDCTION has been added to clarify the
				different individuals that may have authority within the code. This definition
				has been added to read: AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. Means an organization,
				office, or individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of the State
				Adopted Building Codes, including the prior authorization or approval of any
				equipment, materials, installations or procedures used in all or in part of the
				construction of a new or alteration or renovation of an existing building or
				structure, including integral finishes, fixtures and building system therein.
(3) The definition of BATTERY
				TYPES has been modified to add a definition of the battery type "Nickle metal
				hydride (Ni-MH)" and delete the definitions of a "Preengineered stationary
				storage battery system," "Prepackaged stationary storage battery system," and
				"Sodium-beta storage battery." The definition of BATTERY TYPES has been
				modified to read:
(A) Flow battery. A type of
				storage battery that includes chemical components dissolved in two different
				liquids. Ion exchange, which provides the flow of electrical current, occurs
				through the membrane while both liquids circulate in their respective spaces.
(B) Lead-acid battery. A storage
				battery that is comprised of lead electrodes immersed in sulphuric acid
				electrolyte.
(C) Lithium metal
				polymer battery. A storage battery that is similar to the lithium ion battery
				except that it has a lithium metal anode in the place of a traditional carbon
				or graphite anode.
(D) Lithium-ion
				battery. A storage battery with lithium ions serving as the charge carriers of
				the battery. The electrolyte is a polymer mixture of carbonates with an
				inorganic salt and can be in a liquid or a gelled polymer form. Lithiated metal
				oxide is typically a cathode and forms of carbon or graphite typically form the
				anode.
(E) Nickle-cadmium (Ni-Cd)
				battery. An alkaline storage battery in which the positive active material is
				nickel oxide, the negative contains cadmium and the electrolyte is potassium
				hydroxide.
(F) Nickle metal hydride
				(Ni-MH) battery. An alkaline storage battery in which the positive active
				material is nickel oxide, the negative electrodes is an intermetallic compound
				and the electrolyte is usually potassium hydroxide.
(G) Stationary storage battery. A group of
				electrochemical cells interconnected to supply a nominal voltage of DC power to
				a suitably connected electrical load, designed for service in a permanent
				location.
