CBSC shall notify BNi within 15 calendar days following receipt of the publication schedule if CBSC, for valid reason(s) given, believe that the proposed schedule is unacceptable. In the event CBSC objects to the proposed schedule, BNi and CBSC shall meet (in person or by telephone) and develop a mutually acceptable schedule. CBSC’s failure to notify BNi of an objection to the proposed schedule within the foregoing fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to be CBSC’s consent to the proposed schedule.

NFPA, BNi or CBSC shall not be held liable or responsible for any times or dates set out in this Agreement, if such failure to meet that time or date comes about as a result of any strike, unauthorized work stoppage, civil unrest, legal requirement or impediment, storm, fire, flood or other act of God, for which NFPA, BNi or CBSC is not otherwise responsible.

All drafts/proofs shall be transmitted to and from CBSC by overnight service and BNi shall give CBSC its UPS or Fed-X account number, so that BNi pays for all shipping.

Preface

Preface

This document is the 3rd of 12 Parts of the official triennial compilation and publication of the adoptions, amendments and repeal of administrative regulations to California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also referred to as the California Building Standards Code. This Part is known as the California Electrical Code and incorporates, by adoption, the 2008 edition of the National Electrical Code of the National Fire Protection Association with the California amendments

The California Building Standards Code is published in its entirety every three years by order of the California legislature, with supplements published in intervening years. The California legislature delegated authority to various State agencies, boards, commissions and departments to create building regulations to implement the State’s statutes. These building regulations or standards, have the same force of law, and take effect 180 days after their publication unless otherwise stipulated. The California Building Standards Code applies to occupancies in the State of California as annotated.

A city, county or city and county may establish more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Findings of the local condition(s) and the adopted local building standard(s) must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission to become effective and may not be effective sooner than the date filed with the California Building Standards Commission and in no case sooner than the effective date of this edition of California Building Standards Code. Local building standards that were adopted and applicable to previous editions of the California Building Standards Code do not apply to this edition without appropriate adoption and the required filing.

To familiarize yourself with the format of this code, it is suggested that users review the following contents:

Acknowledgement

The 2010 California Building Standards Code (Code) was developed through the outstanding collaborative efforts of the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Division of State Architect, the Office of the State Fire Marshal, the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, the California Energy Commission, and the Building Standards Commission (Commission).

This collaborative effort included the assistance of the Commission’s Code Advisory Committees and many other volunteers that worked tirelessly to assist the Commission in the production of this Code.

Key to Notations in Margins

How to Distinguish Between Model Code Language

and

California Amendments

To distinguish between model code language and the incorporated California amendments, including exclusive California standards, California amendments will appear in italics.

Symbols in the margins indicate the status of code changes as follows:

(“BSC”) This symbol identifies which State agency(s), by its “acronym”, has amended a section of the model code. For a complete listing of the State agency acronyms, see the Application Section within Chapter 1.

CA

CA	This symbol indicates a California amendment has been made to the model code.

CA

║

║	This symbol indicates that a change has been made to a California amendment.

║

This symbol indicates that model code language has been deleted within the

California amendment.

L	This symbol is primarily for the benefit of local agencies, such as city and county

L	building departments, who, by law, must enforce selected sections of the California

L	Building Code. An “L” next to the “CA” signals such sections in the outside margin.

>	This symbol indicates deletion of California language.
