Details: The International Mechanical Code (IMC) establishes minimum regulations for mechanical systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. The IMC was developed with broad-based principles that make possible the use of new and innovative materials, methods and design. For the most current adoptions details go to International Code Adoptions. Important changes in the 2024 IMC include: Provisions prohibiting the use of domestic ductless range hoods in Groups I-1 and I-2 were removed. An identification requirement was added for Group A2L and B2L refrigerants.
