What are the differences between Codes and Standards?
Codes are laws and should be treated as such. Violating codes can cause serious injury or death, which may result in punitive action. Standards are methods that create a uniform structure for installations that have been refined over time. Violating standards is not as severe as a code, but can produce an inferior product that may lead to major costs and performance limitations in the future. CIT utilizes codes and standards that have been developed by electrical and telecommunication industries to provide reliable, secure, and maintainable networks that are safe for building occupants.
