RELEVANT STANDARDS AND GUIDANCE International Building Code 2003 Edition (IBC 2003) and the IBC Accessibility Standards shall be the minimum standard for the basis of the design unless noted otherwise in this document. The relevant Standards and guidance documents for each design discipline are given below. These documents are available from the Technical Coordinator upon request. Where this guidance does not agree with the site specific design criteria given in Section 4, the Lusail design criteria take precedence. 1.1. QATAR AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND GUIDANCE: DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC The standards are in addition to those documents given in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. Where there is any conflict between these specifications the documents listed below take precedence.
