These are the sections of the rule with full section-by-section modification detail — covering plan review, new construction/remodel commissioning, Certificate of Occupancy, annual inspections, hood/balloon/light tests, sprinkler/standpipe/hydrant flow testing, PIVs, and fire alarm work. Everything else is covered in the Full Index below.

Other adopted subjects

Separate Safety Fire Commissioner rules that Rule 120-3-3 cross-references (e.g. NFPA 30 & the flammable-liquids family) — integrated directly here instead of linking out to rules.sos.ga.gov.

Explicitly NOT adopted

These sections of the model codes are deleted or expressly declared "not adopted" by Georgia — meaning your local jurisdiction's own rules govern instead, not the base IFC/NFPA text.

All 182 adopted codes & standards

Sortable, searchable index of every code/standard adopted under Rule 120-3-3-.04. No mod = adopted as published, no Georgia changes. Modified = click the row for a one-line summary of what changed. Detail here = click the row to jump straight to the full breakdown in this site. 120-3-XX = not modified in 120-3-3 at all — the rule just points to a different Safety Fire Commissioner subject; click the row to open that subject directly. Cross-ref = special applicability note rather than a redline.

Editions currently adopted by Georgia

The three base codes referenced throughout this site, and who actually adopts each one — they're not all the same authority or the same adoption cycle.

IBC is adopted separately by DCA, not the Safety Fire Commissioner — it isn't part of Rule 120-3-3 itself, but IFC and the Life Safety Code both reference it constantly (construction types, occupancy classification, plan review), so it's included here for that reason.

Keeping this current

This is a snapshot, not a live feed — Georgia's rules site doesn't support the kind of automated polling that would let this update itself. Just ask for a refresh any time you suspect something changed; based on the amendment history below, checking in every couple of months (or before a task-book submission or plan review that hinges on a specific section) is plenty.
