Scope:

This code and associated standards will specify the requirements for information and communication technology infrastructure and equipment operating or intended to operate as communications and digital networks for buildings, structures, and premises, including factory-built relocatable and non-relocatable structures.

Potential environments where this code will be applied are office buildings, industrial buildings, education buildings, health care buildings and specialty buildings such as museums, stadiums, government installations, and commercial buildings.

Topics that will be addressed by the code include the physical network medium; enclosing pathway and enclosures; network topology, connectivity, quality and nature of the service; security and safety of the network and environment, and security and privacy of data on the network and environment.

Project need:

To establish the functionality, safety, physical security, cybersecurity and privacy codes and standards for the design, installation, maintenance, and operation of digital networks within buildings to support the interconnection, integration, and interaction of devices within the building environment, as well as the connection of building networks with external networks.
