National Model Code Committee on Accessibility in Buildings
National Model Code Committee on Accessibility in Buildings
September 16, 2025
The NMCC on Accessibility in Buildings met to review updates on ongoing work and approve the record of discussion (RoD) for the June 23, 2025 meeting.
Staff presented Code Change Request 2237, proposing to replace section 3.8.3 of the National Building Code with CSA B651. The Committee discussed the pros and cons of this replacement and reviewed a memo from the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) instructing them to retain the accessibility requirements in the Code and continue reviewing the updated version of CSA B651.
The NMCC is expected to review code change requests triaged by the CBHCC at its October 7, 2025 meeting.
The Committee also reviewed various proposed changes to ramps, space in front of lavatories and grab bars.
