PREFACE
This document is the 1st of 12 parts ofthe official triennial compilation and publication of the adoptions, amendments
and repeal of administrative regulations to California Code ofR egulations, Title 24, also referred to as the California
•
Building Standards Code. This part is known as the California Administrative Code, also known as the California
Building Standards Administrative Code.
The California Building Standards Code is published in its entirety every three years by order ofthe California legisla
ture, with supplements published in intervening years. The California legislature delegated authority to various state
agencies, boards, commissions and departments to create building regulations to implement the State's statutes. These
building regulations, or standards, have the same force of law, and take effect 180 days after their publication unless
•
otherwise stipulated. The California Building Standards Code applies to occupancies in the State of California as anno
tated.
A city, county, or city and county may establish more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary because of
local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Findings of the local condition(s) and the adopted local building
standard( s) must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission to become effective and may not be effec
tive sooner than the effective date ofthis edition of the California Building Standards Code. Local building standards
that were adopted and applicable to previous editions of the California Building Standards Code do not apply to this
edition without appropriate adoption and the required filing.
Should you find publication (e.g., typographical) errors or inconsistencies in this code or wish to offer comments
toward improving its format, please address your comments to:
