Specification Hierarchy:

.1 Division 01 specifies general requirements applicable to all of the work of the Contract.

.2 This Section260010 supplements Division 01 general requirements with general requirements applicable to most or all electrical work only. Do not repeat, in this Section, general requirements which are specified in Division01.

.3 Each Division26 technical Section specifies requirements applicable to the work of that Section. Do not repeat in technical Sections, general requirements which are specified in Division01 or in this Section.

.4 With respect to the foregoing, crossreference from the specific to the general, ie. each technical Section references this Section, this Section in turn references Division01 Sections.

Interdivisional Specification Coordination:

.1 Related Requirements:

.1 Specify under this article heading, crossreferences to general requirements specified elsewhere, but which are also applicable to the electrical work. This will primarily include general "administrative" type requirements specified in Division 01.

.2 Related requirements which are of particular importance to the electrical work may be highlighted by placing them under their own article heading eg. Product Options and Substitutions.

.2 Related Work:

.1 Specify under this article heading, crossreferences to work which is specified outside of Division 16 but which is directly related to the electrical work.

.3 Products Supplied but Not Installed Under This Division:

.1 Specify under this article heading each item of work supplied by the electrical subcontractor but which is installed by others. Also specify for each such item, the Division number or, if practicable, the Section number, wherein the installation of that item is specified.

.2 Coordinate with other disciplines as necessary to ensure that list of items and crossreferencing are comprehensive and accurate.

.4 Products Installed but Not Supplied Under This Division:

.1 Specify under this article heading each item of work requiring installation by the electrical subcontractor but which is supplied by others. Also specify for each such item, the Division number or, if practicable, the Section number, wherein the supply of that item is specified. Eg:

Electrical control devices and control panels for electric door operators supplied under Division 08.

Line voltage control devices supplied under Division 23.

Thermostats supplied under Division 23.

Etc.

.2 Coordinate with other disciplines as necessary to ensure that list of items and crossreferences are comprehensive and accurate.

.5 Connection of Work Provided Under Other Divisions:

.1 Specify under this article heading a crossreference to a separate Section ie. Section 262790 Connection of Equipment, which should contain a comprehensive list or schedule of equipment supplied and installed under other Divisions but requiring electrical connection by the electrical subcontractor.
