The IFGC isn’t just a reference book — it’s the legal and technical foundation for how gas piping and gas-fired appliances are safely designed, installed, and inspected in buildings. It’s used every day by professionals to prevent explosions, fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and equipment failures.
Most fuel-gas–related trade exams (for example, Journeyman Plumber, Master Gas Fitter, HVAC Technician, or Mechanical Contractor) are open-book or code-based.
They use the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — often the 2012 edition or newer — as one of the official reference materials.
Typical exams that use the IFGC:
-
ICC National Standard Journeyman/Master Plumbing or Fuel Gas exams
-
State contractor licensing exams (mechanical, plumbing, or gas fitting)
-
Municipal fuel gas permits or competency exams
The questions are drawn from specific IFGC sections — so knowing how to navigate the book quickly is as important as memorizing content.
The 2012 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) isn’t just text — it’s organized like a technical manual designed for quick reference and practical field use. It contains visual aids, charts, tables, and organizational features that make it functional for installers, inspectors, and exam-takers alike.
