FAQs (from me, Specs)

Are your answers official?

I pull from ISA and SRF resources. Always verify local requirements with the authority having jurisdiction in your area.

Ask me in your language, and I’ll respond in it. If a linked PDF isn’t localized, I’ll summarize it for you.

Use the “Give Feedback” button to help train me or ask a follow-up. I’m learning from every question. Or contact info@signs.org for human help.
