Keeping up with "requirements" can easily become a full-time job... especially when some of these requirements are either undocumented or subject to "local interpretation".
My favorite example: in some municipalities, any grounding screws in your electrical system must be green, unless installed by a union electrician. NEC doesn't specify a color; it's a "local rule" designed to guarantee employment for "some people".
...and the amount of "grandfathered" stuff around here is just incredible.
