As a global company, it's tough for us to specify and supply products in areas which do not have adequate building codes (not to mention traveling to those places!). The Higher Committee of Abu Dhabi has announced that they have adopted the 2009 IBC, IFC, IECC, IFGC, IMC, IPC, IPSDC, and IPMC. I see this as a very big step and I hope other cities/countries follow suit.

Here's the Abu Dhabi Building Codes website: http://abudhabibuildingcodes.ae/page/building_codes.html

I thought about that, guess with all those skyscrapers, they were comfortable with DP's. Code of Hammurabi?
