101073519 ARRANGEMENT AND FORMAT OF THE 2021 IPMC Before applying the requirements of the IPMC, it is beneficial to understand its arrangement and for- mat. The IPMC, like other codes published by ICC, is arranged and organized to follow sequential steps that generally occur during a plan review or inspection. Below is a chapter -by -chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the IPMC. The following table shows how the IPMC is divided. The ensuing chapter -by -chapter synopsis details the scope and intent of the provisions of the IPMC. Chapter Topics Chapter Subjects 1 Scope and Administration 2 Definitions 3 General Requirements 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations 5 Plumbing Facilities and Fixture Requirements 6 Mechanical and Electrical Requirements 7 Fire Safety Requirements 8 Referenced Standards Appendix A Boarding Standard Appendix B Board of Appeals Chapter 1 Scope and Administration Chapter 1 contains provisions for the application, enforcement and administration of subsequent requirements of the code. In addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with maintaining "due process of law" in enforcing the property maintenance criteria contained in the body of the code. Only through careful observation of the administrative provisions can the building official reasonably expect to demonstrate that "equal protection under the law" has been provided. Chapter 2 Definitions All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code. Where understanding of a term's definition is especially key to or necessary for understanding of a particular code provision, the term is shown in italics. This is true only for those terms that have a meaning that is unique to the code. In other words, the generally understood meaning of a term or phrase might not be sufficient or consistent with the meaning prescribed by the code; therefore, it is essential that the code -defined meaning be known. Guidance is provided regarding tense, gender and plurality of defined terms as well as guidance regarding terms not defined in this code. Chapter 3 General Requirements Chapter 3, "General Requirements," is broad in scope. It includes a variety of requirements for the exterior property areas as well as the interior and exterior elements of the structure.
