Sec. 435.100  Explanation of numbering system for standards.

    (a) For purposes of this subpart, a derivative of two different 
numbering systems will be used.
    (1) For the purpose of designating a section, the system employed in 
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) will be employed. The number 
``435,'' which signifies Part 435, Chapter II of Title 10, Code of 
Federal Regulations, is used as a prefix for all section headings. The 
suffix is a two or three digit number beginning with ``.97.'' For 
example, the lighting section of the standards is numbered Sec. 435.103.
    (2) Within each section, a numbering system common to many national 
voluntary consensus standards is used. This system was chosen because of 
its commonality among the buildings industry. A decimal system is used 
to denote sections and subsections. For example, Sec. 9.4.2 refers to 
section 9, subsection 4, paragraph 2.
    (b) The hybrid numbering system is used for two purposes:
    (1) The use of the Code of Federal Regulation's numbering system 
allows the researcher using the CFR easy access to the standards.
    (2) The use of the second system allows the builder, designer, 
architect or engineer easy access because they are used to the system 
employed.
    (c) To avoid confusion in the use of the two systems, Sec. 435.101 
through Sec. 435.112, the substantive technical sections of the 
standards, have been numbered so that the last two digits in the suffix 
designate the section. For example, once the reader enters the body of 
Sec. 435.105: Building Envelope, the number ``5'' is used to designate 
the section. References throughout the standard do not employ the 
``435'' prefix but rather refer to the section by the single or double 
digit numbers from 1-12.
