REFERENCES AND CODES Clause Samples
The "References and Codes" clause establishes which external standards, regulations, or codes are incorporated into the contract and must be followed during its execution. Typically, this clause lists specific industry codes, legal statutes, or technical standards that govern the work, such as building codes or safety regulations, and clarifies whether the most current versions or those in effect at the time of contract signing apply. Its core function is to ensure that all parties are aligned on the external requirements that must be met, thereby reducing ambiguity and helping to prevent disputes over compliance or quality standards.
