What are interim Code changes?

Interim Code changes refer to adjustments made to the Building Code outside of the regular update cycle. These changes are often necessary to address urgent safety issues, new technologies, or pressing concerns that arise between the scheduled updates of the Code. By allowing for these modifications, authorities can ensure that the regulations remain relevant, effective, and reflective of current practices, without waiting for the next formal review or update, which may take longer.

This ability to implement changes in a timely manner helps to maintain public safety and adherence to modern building standards, ensuring that the Code can adapt to evolving situations. Other options suggest more standardized or scheduled changes, which do not capture the essence of the urgency and flexibility involved with interim Code changes.
