Flag explanation

The project clause states Panel EP-3 is located in Electrical Room 118, implying it is situated in a separate, dedicated electrical room. The local amendment prohibits panels from being located in a separate room, creating a potential conflict if Room 118 is a dedicated electrical room solely for housing panels.

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.
