The American National Standards Institute is the national clearinghouse and coordinating agency for voluntary standardization in the United States. It approves a standard when it receives evidence that all national groups substantially affected by the development of a particular standard have been given an opportunity to cooperate in the standard's development and have reached substantial agreement on its provisions.
Wedge Block Accepted by Uniform Building Code
Wedge Block, Inc., St. Louis, has announced that its mortarless construction system known as Wedge Block has received formal notice of acceptance by the International Conference of Building Officials (Uniform Building Code).
The West Coast, which subscribes principally to the Uniform Building Code, is traditionally a tough market to crack, especially with a mortarless system of construction because of the seismic conditions which must be considered. "This acceptance," said Norman L. Hancock, president of Wedge Block, Inc., "is but another step in the steady development of a national market." Wedge Blocks had previously been approved by the Building Officials Conference of America (BOCA Code) followed by the Southern Building Code.
