7.0 CODES AND STANDARDS
7.1 GENERAL
It is not necessary for the Inspector to carry a wide range of codes and
standards in the performance of his/her duties. Normally the specification or more
precisely the contract specification is the only document required. However the
contract specification may reference supporting codes and standards and the
inspector should know where to access these normative documents.
The following is a list of definitions relating to codes and standards which the
Inspector may come across whilst carrying inspection duties
7.2 DEFINITIONS
Normative document a document that provides rules, guidelines or characteristics
for activities or their results.
The term normative document is a generic term, which covers documents such as
standards, technical specifications, codes of practice and regulations.*
Standard a document that is estalished y consensus and approved y a
recognised ody.
! standard provides, for common and repeated use, guidelines, rules, characteristics
for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order
in a given conte"t. *
!armoni"ed Standard" standards on the same su#ect approved y different
standardising odies, that estalish interchangeaility of products, processes and
services, or mutual understanding of test results or information provided according to
these standards*
Code o# $ractice a document that recommends practices or procedures for the
design, manufacture, installation, maintenance, utilisation of equipment, structures or
products.
! code of practice may e a standard, a part of a standard or independent of a
standard*
Re%u&ation a document providing inding legislative rules that is adopted y an
authority.*

Aut'orit( a ody $ responsile for standards and regulations legal or administrative
entity that has specific tasks and composition% that has legal powers and rights.*

Re%u&ator( aut'orit( authority that is responsile for preparing or adopting
regulations*
En#orcement aut'orit( authority that is responsile for enforcing regulations*
S$eci#ication document stating requirements.
1eaning full data and its supporting medium stating needs or e"pectations that is
stated, generally implied or oligatory.**
)rocedure specified way to carry out an activity or a process*. 2sually it is a written
description of all essential parameters and precautions to e oserved when applying
a technique to a specific application following an estalished standard, code or
specification
In"truction a written description of the precise steps to e followed, ased on an
estalished procedure, standard, code or specification.
*ua&it( )&an a document specifying which procedures and associated resources
shall e applied y whom and when to a specific pro#ect, product, process or contract*

** 4N I.3 7*** 6 /*** 6 8uality management systems 6 9undamentals and vocaulary

7.+ S,--AR.
!pplication standards and codes of practice ensure that a structure or
component will have an acceptale level of quality and e fit for the intended purpose.
!pplying the requirements of a standard, code of practice or specification can e a
prolem for the ine"perienced Inspector. -onfidence in applying the requirements of
one or all of these documents to a specific application only comes with use over a
period of time.
If in dout the Inspector must always refer to a higher authority in order to avoid
confusion and potential prolems.
