1.8.5.2. Delayed Scoring Deficiencies

The NSPIRE standards include a number of new design requirements. These items will not be scored for the first year of NSPIRE (expiring 10/1/2024). Repairs will be required if cited on an inspection, so the delay in scoring should not be perceived as a delay in the need to comply with the new requirements.
