I've searched the website for information regarding the location in the IBC for the requirement for seismic support of lay in fixtures in a suspended ceiling. I've done lay in lighting for 20 years, and today I got a call from an Architect saying the inspector says it is "code" to require lay in fixtures to be supported independently being fastened to the grid.
Can anyone direct me to the IBC section that is applicable. We're at the end of the IBC code cycle, so I don't understand how a recent code change would be applicable. We've been under the 2003 IBC for 3 years new.
