Code Development Committees

As defined by the Regulations Governing Committee Projects and the Regulations Governing Consensus Development of the USHGC and USPSHTC, the Technical Committee (TC) and the Technical Correlating Committee (TCC) are the consensus body responsible for the development and revision of any document or documents emanating from a Technical Committee Project (the Uniform Codes). All persons wishing to participate on a TC or TCC must complete an application for Technical Committee Membership including a resume of qualifications. Applications for the technical committees are acted on in accordance with the consensus procedures.

An important function of the Standards Council and Executive Committee is to maintain a balance of interest classifications on the TC and TCC.

Those classifications are:

Manufacturer
Enforcing Authority
Research/Standards/Testing Laboratory
Consumer

Labor
Installer/Maintainer
Special Expert
User

Once appointed to the TC or TCC, each member is subject to annual review and reappointment. It is the responsibility of each member to participate and act in accordance with the consensus procedures.

The rosters (linked below) are divided into three columns: Name, Representation, and Classification. Committee members are arranged by classification for ease of identification.

For a more detailed explanation of responsibilities of the Technical Committees and Technical Correlating Committee, please refer to Section 3 of the Regulations Governing Committee Projects or Section 3 of the Regulations Governing Consensus Development of the USHGC and USPSHTC.
