Standards of Seismic Safety for Existing Federally Owned and Leased Buildings
The seismic safety evaluation and mitigation standards, Standards of Seismic Safety for Existing Federally Owned and Leased Buildings, were developed for use by the Federal Government by the Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction (ICSSC) in conjunction with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and with the funding support of several ICSSC member agencies. The intent of this document is to provide Federal agencies with minimum (Life-Safety) and extended (Immediate Occupancy) standards for the evaluation and mitigation of seismic risks in their building inventories. This document responds to Executive Order 12941 Sec. 4, which directs the ICSSC to 'update the Standards at least every 5 years,' and to 'update the Standards within 2 years of the publication of the First Edition of FEMA's Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings and Commentary' (FEMA 273).
