What if an existing building does not comply with the 2006 ICC code family?
An existing building does not have to be upgraded to meet all requirements of the 2006 ICC code family series, but is required to comply with the Kansas Fire Prevention Code. The Kansas Fire Prevention Code includes the inspection checklists in the KSFM’s Kansas Buildings Fire Safety Handbook. The inspection checklists outline minimum life safety requirements. These requirements are based on NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 1991 edition for existing buildings. If the existing building have occupancies that receive CMS funding, the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 2000 edition will apply in lieu of NFPA 101 – Life Safety Code, 1991 edition.
