Flag explanation

The project clause specifies only 36 inches (3 feet) of clear working space in front of Panel EP-6, but the local amendment (clause 3) requires a minimum of six feet (1829 mm) of clear working space in front of all panels, superseding the standard NEC minimum. The project clause's 36-inch allowance does not meet this jurisdiction-specific requirement.

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.
