I have been reading a bit lately about the moves toward international standardization, and code correlation, and it seems that there are performance-based ("This is what we're trying to do.") standards being used instead of prescriptive (Thou shalt do it THIS way!) standards. To get a better picture, I'm hoping that others here might be able to tell me the titles of any prescriptive codes which are used on the job, like the NEC is used in the U.S.
