Exhibit A
Recommended Amendments to the
2021 International Mechanical Code
North Central Texas Council of Governments Region
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2021 International Mechanical Code
(IMC) are hereby amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IMC. Underlined t e is text
inserted. A double asterisk at the beginning of a
section identifies an"amendment carried over from the 2018 edition of the code and a triple
asterisk identifies a new or revised amendment of the 2021 edition of the code.
Note: Historically the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has limited
Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to insert their local policies and procedures.
We now have suggested certain items to be brought to the attention of cities considering adoption
of the code that may be of concern to several jurisdictions. It is still intended to be discretionary
to each city to determine which Chapter 1 amendments to include.
The City is an "Option B"jurisdiction; Option B shall govern where applicable.
***Section 102.8; change to read as follows:
102.8 Referenced Codes and Standards. The codes and standards referenced herein shall be
those that are listed in Chapter 15 and such codes and standards shall be considered part of the
requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference. Where differences
occur between provisions of this code and the referenced standards, the provisions of this code
shall apply. Whenever amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards,
each reference to said code and standard shall be considered to reference the adopted
amendments. Any reference to NFPA 70 shall mean the National Electrical Code as adopted.
(Reason: Legal wording to recognize locally adopted codes and amendments adopted with
referenced codes.)
