Which organization was NOT part of the merger to create the International Code Council?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) was not part of the merger that created the International Code Council (ICC) in 2003. The formation of the ICC brought together various organizations, specifically focusing on building and safety codes to enhance public safety and promote uniform building standards across jurisdictions.

The ICC was formed through the merger of three primary entities: the International Conference of Building Officials, the Southern Building Code Congress International, and the Building Officials and Code Administrators International. These organizations were involved in developing and implementing building codes and standards, which aligns with the goals of the ICC.

The NFPA, while a prominent organization in fire safety and code development, chose to remain an independent entity that focuses on fire prevention and safety code standards. Their distinct mission and focus area differentiate them from the organizations involved in the merger that led to the creation of the ICC.
