code edition

[engineer54]

I have a job that was sold at a time when the 2010 edition A11 addenda was in force. The 2013 code is in place now.
Drawings and calculations still show 2010 edition A11 addenda . What is code justification for this? I have always followed job through with code that it was sold under.
Thanks.

The purchaser must communicate in the purchase order what edition of the code to use.

bumpjones, if only... They usually only state "latest".

engineer54,you are peermitted to design / construct to Code Edition / Addenda in effect on the P.O. date. See the Foreword.

Regards,

I have always followed this policy. Is this policy answered in the code interpretations?
