Codes are considered to be a set of rules or best practices. The use of codes are important to trades because they maintain uniformity and safety. When working in the trades, it is important that you have access to the most up to date codes. Mohawk Library provides access to codes through the Stoney Creek Library. Connect with staff at the information desk to access these materials.

Standards are documents that describe the important features of a product, service or system.

Standards can help organizations ensure their products and services are consistent, compatible, effective and safe.

Most standards are voluntary - there are no laws requiring their application.

Governments also make some standards mandatory by referencing them legislatively or through regulations.
