(j) Where there is a conflict between codes, an earlier
named code takes precedent over a later named code. Where, in
any specific case, different sections of this code specify
different materials, methods of construction or other
requirements, the most restrictive governs. Where there is a
conflict between a general requirement and a special
requirement, the specific requirement must be applicable.
(2) All construction methods and installations must use
accepted engineering practices, provide minimum health and
safety to the occupants of commercial coaches and the public,
and demonstrate journeyman quality of work of the various
trades.
(3) Requirements for any size, weight, or quality of
material modified by the terms "minimum," "not less than," "at
least," and similar expressions are minimum standards. The
manufacturer may exceed these rules provided the deviation
does not result in inferior installation or defeat the purpose
and intent of this chapter.
