Washington has adopted the International Fire Code (IFC) through WAC 51-54A. Section 506.1 of the IFC authorizes fire code officials to require the installation of key boxes (such as Knox Boxes) where access to or within a structure is restricted due to secured openings, and immediate access is necessary for life-saving or firefighting purposes. These key boxes must be of an approved type listed in accordance with UL 1037.
Who is responsible for Knox Boxes in Washington?
Property owners are generally responsible for purchasing and installing the Knox Box. After installation, they should contact their local fire department to secure the box’s contents and ensure compliance with local regulations. It’s important to note that requirements can vary significantly between jurisdictions, so it’s advisable to consult with the local fire authority for specific guidance.
