Standards
Natural gas - Natural gas for use as a compressed fuel for vehicles - Part 1: Designation of the quality
The aim of this part of ISO 15403 is to
provide manufacturers, vehicle operators, fuelling station operators and others
involved in the compressed-natural-gas vehicle industry with information on the
fuel quality for natural gas vehicles (NGVs), required to develop and operate
compressed-natural-gas vehicle equipment successfully.
Fuel meeting the requirements of this part of ISO 15403 should:
(a) provide for the safe operation of the vehicle and associated equipment needed for its fuelling and maintenance;
(b) protect the fuel system from the detrimental effects of corrosion, poisoning, and liquid or solid deposition;
(c) provide satisfactory vehicle performance under any and all conditions of climate and driving demands.

International Building Code
The scope of the International Building Code® (IBC®) includes all buildings except detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories. For the most current adoptions details go to International Code Adoptions
The 2018 IBC contains many important changes such as:
- Accessory storage spaces of any size are now permitted to be classified as part of the occupancy to which they are accessory.
- New code sections have been introduced addressing medical gas systems and higher education laboratories.
- Use of fire walls to create separate buildings is now limited to only the determination of permissible types of construction based on allowable building area and height.
- Where an elevator hoistway door opens into a fire-resistance-rated corridor, the opening must be protected in a manner to address smoke intrusion into the hoistway.
- The occupant load factor for business uses has been revised to one occupant per 150 square feet.
- Live loads on decks and balconies increase the deck live load to one and one-half times the live load of the area served.
- The minimum lateral load that fire walls are required to resist is five pounds per square foot.
- Wind speed maps updated, including maps for the state of Hawaii. Terminology describing wind speeds has changed again with ultimate design wind speeds now called basic design wind speeds.
- Site soil coefficients now correspond to the newest generation of ground motion attenuation equations (seismic values).
- Five-foot tall wood trusses requiring permanent bracing must have a periodic special inspection to verify that the required bracing has been installed.
- New alternative fastener schedule for construction of mechanically laminated decking is added giving equivalent power-driven fasteners for the 20-penny nail.
- Solid sawn lumber header and girder spans for the exterior bearing walls reduce span lengths to allow #2 Southern Pine design values.
