A. Reference to standards and specifications of technical societies and reporting and resolving discrepancies associated therewith shall be as provided in the Contract Clauses, and as may otherwise be required herein and in the individual Specification sections.

B. Applicability of Standards: Unless the Contract Documents include more stringent requirements, applicable construction industry standards have the same force and effect as if bound or copied directly into the Contract Documents to the extent referenced. Such standards are made a part of the Contract Documents by reference:

1. Publication Dates: Comply with standards in effect as of date of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise indicated.

C. Work specified by reference to the published standard or specification of a government agency, technical association, trade association, professional society or institute, testing agency, or other organization shall meet the requirements or surpass the minimum standards of quality for materials and workmanship established by the designated standard or specification.

D. Where so specified, products or workmanship shall also meet or exceed the additional prescriptive or performance requirements included within the Contract Documents to establish a higher or more stringent standard of quality than that required by the referenced standard.

E. Where two (2) or more standards are specified to establish quality, the product and workmanship shall meet or exceed the requirements of the most stringent. Refer uncertainties and requirements that are different, but apparently equal, to Contracting Officer for a decision before proceeding.

F. Where both a standard and a brand name are specified for a product in the Contract Documents, the proprietary product named shall meet or exceed the requirements of the specified reference standard.

G. Copies of standards and specifications of technical societies:

1. Copies of applicable referenced standards have not been bound in these Contract Documents.
