2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Modernized for Clarity, Accuracy, and Compliance

The 2024 International Codes (I-Codes) reflect a major step forward in the International Code Council’s (ICC) digital transformation initiative, delivering a cleaner layout, improved usability, and enhanced readability for today’s code users. These updates are designed to make code navigation faster, clearer, and more efficient—whether in print or on the jobsite.

Key Formatting and Usability Enhancements Include:

• Single-column text layout combined with modernized font styles for easier reading

• QR codes replacing margin arrows and sidebars, allowing precise identification of code changes

• Shaded table headers and notes to help users quickly locate relevant tables and guidance

• Logical grouping of related content, placing tables and figures immediately after their referenced sections

• Book authentication and registration capability, enabling users to verify authenticity and register with the ICC to access eligible incentives

Beyond these visual and structural improvements, the 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) continues to serve as the authoritative standard for plumbing systems, establishing minimum regulations for plumbing facilities while supporting the use of new and innovative materials, products, and system designs.

The code also integrates plumbing and plumbing-fixture accessibility requirements from ICC A117.1, ensuring consistency with accessibility standards and reinforcing the IPC’s position as the most comprehensive plumbing code available.

Designed for inspectors, engineers, contractors, designers, and code officials, the 2024 IPC delivers a modernized user experience without compromising technical accuracy or regulatory integrity—making it an essential reference for compliant plumbing design and installation.
