Chapter 14 covers the recognition of, and protection against, hazards of an electrical, explosive, or implosive nature, as well as fire establishes criteria for design of hyperbaric chambers and design and operation of hyperbaric facilities. Chapter 14 covers electrical, fire, pressure, and gas hazards associated with hyperbaric chambers and associated facilities that are used, or intended to be used, for medical applications and experimental procedures at gauge pressures from 0 kpa to 690 kpa (0 psi to 100 psi). One of the proposed edits specifies that the hyperbaric facilities chapter is used for facility design, chamber design, and facility operation. The other edits make the existing paragraph more concise.

All discrepancies shall be brought to the immediate attention of the plumbing contractor for correction. Records shall be kept of all inspections. 1.6.3.3 Written report. The registered design professional shall submit a final report in writing to the code official upon completion of the installation, certifying that the engineered design conforms to the approved construction documents. A notice of approval for the plumbing system shall not be issued until a written certification has been submitted.
