Code Compliance
Revision 0.3 · Source-currentness recheck: September 30, 2026 · Controlled review checklist
This is a stand-alone code compliance checklist for this trade, added to the workmanship standards above and to full project-code requirements. It is not a complete trade code manual. It covers reviewed 2016–2026 changes and local implementation events; an older provision newly enforced locally is labeled as implementation, not claimed as newly invented code.

PM
Only affected new, replaced or altered work and legally triggered upgrades are included. The PM selects the applicable legal requirement and the compatible mandatory Anchor overlay before work starts. Unresolved source, limit or listing conflicts remain HOLD, and N/A requires a written reason. Checking a box means the item and its required evidence passed, not merely that it was read.
Where a city's legal minimum is lower, the compatible higher check remains an Anchor standard unless Cory approves a company-only exception. A city's nonadoption alone is not a reason to mark the higher company check N/A; actual scope, technical compatibility and legal/design/listing conflicts must be resolved.
Existing QR phases: QR-15A.
DT-01Glass guard top rail / handrail
Install the required attached top rail/handrail unless the accepted laminated-glass exception or design applies.
- Change / applicability
- 2018 IRC R308.4.4 update. Affected: structural glass guard panels.
- Required record
- Glass certification, guard design and installed connections.
- Hold point
- Before guard use.
DT-02Guard-support framing
Confirm accepted edge-framing/anchorage accounts for guard loads, especially trusses/I-joists, before fastening finishes/hardware.
- Change / applicability

- Required record
- Hardware/locking plan and joint witness tests.
- Hold point
- Before door use / final release.
DT-04ESS utility-room doors
Install the accepted qualifying door with required self-latching/closing behavior and coordinate room protection. Ordinary hollow-core trim installation is not acceptance of the ESS barrier.

Affected: regulated hardwood plywood, MDF/thin-MDF or particleboard in doors, trim and built-in finish products containing regulated composite wood; screen product/manufacture/import dates and exemptions.
- Required record
- Label photo, supplier invoice, product/lot and applicable certification/exemption evidence.
- Hold point
- Before purchasing or installing affected material.
DT-06Weighed construction-waste diversion
Segregate and document eligible door/trim construction waste toward the project requirement of at least 50% eligible nonhazardous C&D waste diverted by weight. Exclude excavated soil/land-clearing debris and do not count alternative daily cover or waste-to-energy as diversion.
- Change / applicability

Unverified or failed applicable items block the stated hold point. The subcontractor certifies actual work and evidence; the PM independently verifies and releases after required official inspections. Cory approves only company-standard exceptions, never statutory, permit, design or listing waivers.

Applicability Appendix
Record the exact adopted section/amendment, applicable exception, design/product instruction and required test configuration for each item before starting. A model-edition change is not automatically local law, and a local rule exported to another city is an Anchor requirement only when technically compatible and accepted.
This section does not establish an exhaustive all-clause ten-year history or every-city strictness proof. No unverified change is used as a passing criterion; current-only provisions with no demonstrated decade change remain in the full existing acceptance packet rather than falsely appearing here as new changes.
The September 30, 2026 recheck refreshed cited source evidence. A historical source can verify a change without establishing its current local applicability; source recheck is not a project release or a complete clause-by-clause supersession certification.
