- To promote the understanding and uniform interpretation and enforcement of these regulations and their companion documents;
- To provide assistance in the development and improvement of these regulations and their companion documents; and
- To promote a close liaison and interchange of ideas on these regulations with related associations, the building industry, government and the consumer public.
