<br />CHAPTER 2
<br />DEFINITIONS
<br />User note:
<br />About this chapter: Codes, by their very nature, are technical documents. Every word, term and punctuation mark can add to or change
<br />the meaning of a technical requirement. It is necessary to maintain a consensus on the specific meaning of each term contained in the
<br />code. Chapter 2 performs this function by stating clearly what specific terms mean for the purpose of the code.
<br />SECTION 201
<br />GENERAL
<br />201.1 Scope. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the follow-
<br />ing terms shall, for the purposes of this code, have the
<br />meanings shown in this chapter.
<br />201.2 Interchangeability. Words stated in the present tense
<br />include the future; words stated in the masculine gender
<br />include the feminine and neuter; the singular number
<br />includes the plural and the plural, the singular.
<br />201.3 Terms defined in other codes. Where terms are not
<br />defined in this code and are defined in the International
<br />Building Code, International Existing Building Code, Inter-
<br />national Fire Code, International Fuel Gas Code,
<br />International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing
<br />Code, International Residential Code, International Zoning
<br />Code or NFPA 70, such terms shall have the meanings
<br />ascribed to them as stated in those codes.
<br />Exception: When used within this code, the terms unsafe
<br />and dangerous shall have only the meanings ascribed to
<br />them in this code and shall not have the meanings
<br />ascribed to them by the International Existing Building
<br />Code.
<br />201.4 Terms not defined. Where terms are not defined
<br />through the methods authorized by this section, such terms
<br />shall have ordinarily accepted meanings such as the context
<br />implies.
<br />201.5 Parts. Whenever the words "dwelling unit," "dwell-
<br />ing," "premises," "building," "rooming house," "rooming
<br />unit," "housekeeping unit" or "story" are stated in this code,
<br />they shall be construed as though they were followed by the
<br />words "or any part thereof."
