Request for Interpretation |
 |
Someone asked "Why would an expert in
the Standards need SoP RFI?"
An experienced inspector replied: "There are many
Standards experts. It is demonstrated that they can disagree on subjective
requirements. TREC requires the inspector to use reasonable judgment to form an
opinion. When two experts disagree and a licensee is being judged for negligent
and incompetent acts what is reasonable?
What is the new licensee, who is not an
expert, to think?
What is an enforcement attorney, trained in law but not
construction, to think?
What would a jury or mediator think?
This is the purpose of SoP RFI . . . a voice
for ALL inspectors and a resource for all parties involved.

Advisory Counsels
SoP RFI is comprised of individual inspectors and several Counsels. The Counsels are created to allow a synergistic benefit between specialties. Interaction between Counsels and individual members will result in a robust yet well thought out Request for Interpretation agenda that works efficiently and amicably with TREC.
Counsel members will be included in the final review of pending RFI before they are sent to TREC.
