What's the difference between a code and a standard?
Almost every consulting engineer works with codes and
standards on a daily basis, but do you know the difference between a code and a
standard?
According to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Circular No. A-119, Revised, a
standard is "the definition of terms; classification of components;
delineation of procedures; specification of dimensions, materials, performance,
designs, or operations; measurement of quality and quantity in describing
materials, processes, products, systems, services, or practices; test methods
and sampling procedures; or descriptions of fit and measurements of size or
strength." In plain English, a standard consists of technical definitions,
procedures, and/or guidelines that specify minimum requirements or instructions
for manufacturers, installers, and users of equipment. This can be done by
specifying either the methods or the results; the latter is known as
"performance specifying." Most importantly, a standard provides
standardization or agreement within the industry, which translates to a common
reference among engineers, manufacturers, and bidders.
There are several types of standards, but engineers are
most familiar with "voluntary consensus standards" such as ASHRAE Standard 90.1, ASTM D975, IEEE
SI-10, NECA 1, and NFPA 70. These standards are developed in a
manner that is, according to NIST A-119, "open, (considers) balance of
interest, (has) due process, an appeals process, (and relies on) consensus,
which is defined as general agreement, but not necessarily unanimity."
There are also requirements that the standard be maintained on a consistent
schedule by the organization that sponsors the standard.
A code is a standard that has been enacted into law by a
local, regional, or national authority having jurisdiction so that the engineer
or contractor is legally obligated to comply with the code. Noncompliance can
result in being prosecuted. The code may be an industry, government, or voluntary
consensus-based standard. A code can include references to standards, which
means the standards are incorporated by reference and therefore are part of the
code and legally enforceable.
It's important to note the difference between a code and
a model code such as the International
Building Code (IBC). A model
code is developed by a standards organization, typically using the voluntary
consensus standard process and subject matter experts. The intent of a model
code is to have an industry-wide standard that can be adopted and customized by
local jurisdictions, thereby saving the jurisdiction the time and expense of
developing and maintaining their own code. This also allows for a certain level
of standardization across jurisdictions, permitting contractors to have a
understanding of the Owner's expectations and potentially lowering the cost of
manufactured goods due to similar requirements across jurisdictions. A model
code is not enforceable until it is adopted by a jurisdiction, and typically a
jurisdiction will require significant review and some modification of the code
to ensure that the code is acceptable to the jurisdiction. This is often why a
jurisdiction's adopted code may be several cycles behind the latest model code.
To recap,
A code is a model, a set of rules that
knowledgeable people recommend for others to follow. It is not a law, but can
be adopted into law.
A standard tends be a more detailed elaboration,
the nuts and bolts of meeting a code.
