Even though the 2012 IBC does not take effect until accepted by local jurisdictions, the new Chapter 7 tables are helpful in understanding and meeting the glazing code requirements contained in the 2006 and 2009 IBC, as well as NFPA 80 outlined in the 1999 and 2007 NFPA 80 editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/safeglassforschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/489554.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to see the 2012 IBC 716 Tables<\/a>.
