Which acronym stands for the International Mechanical Code?

• A. IMC
• B. IMM Code
• C. International Mechanical Code
• D. Industrial Mechanical Code

Answer: (A)

Acronyms are formed from the initial letters of each word in the official title. For the International Mechanical Code, that gives I from International, M from Mechanical, and C from Code, producing IMC. This is the standard abbreviation used for that model code published by the International Code Council. The other forms don’t match the official title: they either swap a word (like Industrial instead of International) or attempt to treat the full name as an acronym instead of using the initials. So IMC is the correct one.
