Building Officials and Code Administrators International Inc. (BOCA), now known as the International Code Council, publishes codes that establish minimum performance requirements for all aspects of the construction industry. BOCA is a founding member of the International Code Council (ICC) which was established in 1994 to develop a single set of comprehensive and coordinated national model construction codes.

BOCA National Codes and International Standards address the building, energy conservation, fire prevention, mechanical, plumbing and property maintenance segments of the construction industry. The ICC International Codes are the result of a cooperative effort between BOCA and the other model code organizations to bring international uniformity to all codes.
