Membership Information
IFC is a not-for-profit association of manufacturers, distributors
and users of fire protective materials and systems.
IFC has retained a code consultant to monitor proposed code changes
and represent the interests of the passive fire protection community
before the model code groups.
IFC meets at least three times per year to examine opportunities to
effect code changes and provide direction to the code consultant.
Between meetings, IFC communicates with members on a regular basis
on the status of pending code issues and solicits input on IFC
positions.
IFC regularly invites representatives from the model code groups and
test laboratories to attend IFC meetings to address mutual issues of
interest and concern. These regular meetings provide invaluable
insights into the code development process and are a valuable
communication bridge with the model code groups.
All IFC activities are closely monitored by IFC legal counsel to
guard against any unintended antitrust or other legal problems.
IFC supports a contractor network, which, through IFC mailings and
meetings is kept informed about important industry issues.
IFC provides speakers and is regularly represented at code and
construction professionals conferences and seminars.
We invite you to join with us and play an active role in promoting
life safety issues.
There are two types of members: Voting and Associate.
Voting members must be a corporation, partnership, or sole
proprietorship that manufactures, or sells under its own label,
materials, systems, or devices for fire containment or passive fire
protection use.
Associate membership is open to anyone that does not qualify as a
voting member.
