Stove couplers

[Dave A]

Looked at it and thought about it - If the stove is built in , I would say the or comes into play and you can use either method - If the stove is freestanding then it states that it shall use a stove plug and the or bit would fall away

Do we ignore the implication on the shall wording ?

I was always taught that if the word SHALL is used it is non-negotiable if the word MAY is used then it becomes negotiable

To my mind I tend to apply the hierarchy of nested logic operators (more mathematical and coding oriented, I suppose).

This would deem 6.16.3.3.2 and 6.16.3.3.3 as separate subset options of the "or" logic operator set by 6.16.3.3.1.
If the requirements of 6.16.3.3.2 is met fully, the result is TRUE (regardless of the result when tested against 6.16.3.3.3)
Similarly, if the requirements of 6.16.3.3.3 is met fully, the result is TRUE (regardless of the result when tested against 6.16.3.3.2).

Still think the old grey cover for the book was more appropriate than the present black one.

Your result would be correct mathematically , not sure about legal eagles reading and coming out with an answer that would keep us out of trouble.
Is a reason I have always felt that an informal get together with role players could smooth the waters for contractors on the ground so that everyone is on the same page.

I will leave it to you to get the answer from the people that sit on the SANS committee to throw their opinion in

We could then end up with 3 different opinions and outcomes

I agree.

I'll run it past Cecil.
