A Comparison of the 2004 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities; the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG); and the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), which references the standard ICC/ANSI A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities-2003.

Introduction
This matrix serves to facilitate comparisons of the new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities, published in the Federal Register on July 23, 2004, and amended August 5, 2005, with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), signed into law in 1990, and the 2006 International Building Code, which references the standard ICC/ANSI A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities-2003.
BDBlack Codes, Inc. developed a similar matrix under contract with the U.S. Access Board. Brian Black based the initial project on the 2003 International Building Code with 2004 Amendments and the ICC/ANSI A117.1-2003. This new matrix, updated to the 2006 International Building Code, will serve a wider audience, as more jurisdictions move to adopt the 2006 International Codes and federal agencies implement the new ADA-ABA Guidelines.
