PURPOSE:

Adoption of the current national standards will make Florida’s requirements uniform with the national requirements and facilitate interstate commerce and trade.  Some rewording has also been done to promote editorial uniformity among the Bureau rules in Chapters 5F-3, 5, 7, and 12, F.A.C.  This does not cause any change in the content.
