What were the three code organizations that united to form the International Code Council?

The three code organizations that united to form the International Code Council are indeed BOCA, SBCCI, and ICBO. Each of these organizations played a significant role in developing building codes in the United States prior to their merger.

BOCA, or the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, was established to create a uniform building code across different jurisdictions. The Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) focused primarily on the southeastern United States and played a pivotal role in regional code development. The International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) was similarly dedicated to creating codes for the western United States.

When these three organizations combined their expertise and resources, they established the International Code Council (ICC) in 2000, which has since been responsible for developing and publishing the I-Codes, a comprehensive set of building codes used across the nation and internationally. This merger was aimed at promoting uniformity and consistency in building codes, thus enhancing safety and efficiency across different regions.
