ETA Editor's Note
Since hyperlinks are provided throughout this Pocket Guide where certain defined terms are used, the list of defined terms in CBC Chapter 11B is omitted. The definitions of those terms, as well as terms defined in ADA, are located in Section 202.
For simplicity, the following terms defined in Section 202 do not have hyperlinks, unless the Editor has judged that the particular context may benefit from the added clarity of the definition:
