Standards library
The standards construction work is inspected against
One page per standard family, written the way it shows up on site: what it governs, what an inspector is actually looking at, and every RTI checklist that verifies work against it. Adoption and edition are always the authority having jurisdiction's call — these pages name families, never clauses.
