[*Added comments in brackets [ ] that codes/standards were updated by "equivalency." This is allowed by NFPA 101, 2009 edition, Section 1.4, and then also see comment #3 in the hardcover handbook, part of which reads, "...future editions of the Code are considered refinements of earlier editions because they clarify intent with respect to the revised topics. Use of another edition in its entirety should be considered as equivalent to use of an earlier edition." The formal legislative approval of the rulemaking process is not scheduled before 2013, but in the meantime through equivalency we can use the newer codes/standards.
