What is the purpose of the amendment pages in the Building Code?

The purpose of the amendment pages in the Building Code is to identify changes to the Code with a unique symbol and effective date. These pages serve to clearly highlight any updates or modifications that have been made to the existing regulations, ensuring that professionals in the field can easily discern the most current requirements. This is crucial for compliance and safety, as it allows builders, designers, and other stakeholders to stay informed about the latest standards and modifications in the Code since the previous version. Without this clear indication of changes, there could be confusion and potential oversights regarding what is required by law.

The other options focus on aspects that do not pertain directly to the function of amendment pages, such as summarizing historical changes or maintaining lists of qualifications that don’t directly support the immediate understanding of changes to the current Code.
