How to Read Compliance Documentation

Understanding code reports and test documentation is crucial for architects, contractors, and project managers. Here’s how to get the most from our documentation:

1. Identify the Relevant Code or Standard

Start by matching the product with the applicable regional, state, or national code (e.g., IBC, IRC, ADA).
