Flag explanation

The project clause provides only 30 inches of clear working space in front of Panel EP-2, but local amendment clause 3 requires a six foot (72 inch / 1829 mm) clear working space in front of all panels. 30 inches fails to meet this jurisdiction-specific minimum by a wide margin (and even the panel's own stated 36-inch NEC-based minimum falls short of the local 72-inch requirement).

Prompt sent to model

Project clause '2':
2. Panel EP-2 (Mech/Elec Room 105, 120/208V, 30-circuit) is shown with 30" of dedicated clear working space in front of it. The minimum clear working space required for a panel at this voltage-to-ground condition is 36"; the 30" shown does not meet that minimum on its
own, before even accounting for other equipment in the room.

These candidates are local amendments to the national model building code (e.g. IBC), not the full code. You may draw on your own general knowledge of standard model-code provisions to judge whether the project clause is consistent with normal practice, but any conflict you report must be grounded in - and cite - one of the local amendment clauses shown above, since those are the only things a human reviewer can independently verify against this jurisdiction's actual adopted text.

Does the project clause conflict with or fail to meet any of these code requirements? Call report_conflicts with your findings, or an empty conflicts list if there's no real conflict.
