Open questions from the research
- Evidence is the 2025OF draft PDF; the adopted rule PDF text was not read. NFPA 855 edition in Ohio chapter 80 not checked.
- Adopted rule text now read; first pass used the draft. NFPA 855 edition is named only in a deletion instruction, so applicability is through IFC ch.12.
- Ohio chapter 80 referenced-standards list not checked.
