Following the second round of committee hearings in ICC’s code development process, BHMA is pleased to share that all 15 of its proposals are now set to be approved for inclusion in the 2027 International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC). These proposals are not subject to further debate and will receive final action during the April 2026 Public Comment Hearings via the Consent Agenda. 

BHMA plays a critical role in shaping the building codes that affect commercial doors and hardware—especially for locksmiths, code officials, and security professionals. Behind the scenes, the association works to ensure that codes governing locking mechanisms, exit devices, and door operations reflect current safety standards and industry realities. As the only organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop and maintain builders hardware performance standards, BHMA brings deep technical insight to every phase of the code-making journey.
