Don't know the minimum national prescriptive in KSA, but we're doing a new ground-up hospital for a Saudi healthcare system and they came to our American design team because they were voluntarily looking for the most stringent standards they could find. And since everyone knows that California's state healthcare jurisdictional agency is completely over-the-top, we're doing it along those lines. There doesn't appear to be any conflict between the local or national Saudi provisions and what we're using, which is IBC 2006 with significant California amendments.

Also, we use Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) here as our testing agency which NFPA indirectly references and I'm wondering what is the equivalent over there. Craig L.
