When conflicting provisions or requirements occur between this code, the Specialty Codes and other codes or laws, the most restrictive shall govern.

When conflicts occur between the Specialty Codes, those provisions providing the greater safety to life shall govern. In other conflicts where sanitation, life safety or fire safety are not involved, the most restrictive provisions shall govern.

Where in a specific case different sections of the Specialty Codes specify different materials, methods of construction or other requirements, the most restrictive shall govern. When there is conflict between a general requirement and a specific requirement, the specific requirement shall be applicable. (Prior code § 9.104)
