Flag explanation

The project clause states that working clearance for panels shall meet 'applicable electrical code requirements for the voltage and condition shown,' implying standard NEC clearances (which vary by voltage/condition, often less than 6 feet). However, the local amendment mandates a fixed six-foot clear working space in front of all panels regardless of voltage or condition, which is a stricter, non-variable requirement that the project clause does not explicitly guarantee.

Project clause '6':
6. Dedicated equipment space and working clearance for all panels shall meet the applicable electrical code requirements for the voltage and condition shown; see the EP-1 and EP-2 notes above.

Candidate jurisdiction code clauses (local amendments - only these may be cited):
[id: 9afdad69-77bd-4e04-9d68-c5827518fe35] 10: 10.   All panels shall be clearly labeled at the top to indicate the purpose or function, such as "detectio
communication," "elevators," or "generator."

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.
