Open questions from the research
- Two readings differ: first ifc_ch12/None (8 CCR 1507-101 (Division of Fire Prevention and Control adopted codes)), second ifc_ch12/2020 (DFPC adopted codes (state-regulated buildings); local jurisdictions adopt their own fire code). Held at lead until settled.
- DFPC page still lists the 2021 IFC; baseline suggests 2024 effective 2026-06-10, unresolved.
- If 2021: NFPA 855-2020; if 2024: NFPA 855-2023. Edition left null.
- NFPA 855 not mentioned on any state page found.
- Date today is after 2026-06-10; if the 2024 IFC rules took effect, edition becomes 2024 / NFPA 855-2023. Confirm in 8 CCR 1507-101 (sos.state.co.us rule pages and publicsafety.colorado.gov PDFs not opened).
- DFPC page is undated and gives no statewide effective date for the 2021 IFC.
