In Plain Language

This clause establishes a general rule for interpreting cross-references throughout this chapter: unless stated otherwise, any mention of a standard or code means the version already adopted by the relevant chapter of the Construction Code or Safety Code, rather than whatever edition might currently be publicly available.

This is a plain-language summary of the Quebec Construction Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the official Publications Quebec text or a qualified professional before construction.
