Looks like the new changes are out for April 2014.

Revision summary: http://masterformat.com/revisions/

First thing I’ve noticed: I’m amazed nobody at CSI/CSC has noticed the typo with section 26 43 13, which has been there since the 2012 revision:

“Surge Protective Devices for Low-Voltage Electrical Power Circuitsrical Power Circuits”

A copy and paste error spell check error, but I’m really surprised it hasn’t been corrected in over two years! Should just read “Surge Protective Devices for Low-Voltage Electrical Power Circuits”

Any other interesting observations?

xx 05 05 - Selective Demolition for ___ has been added for almost all divisions.

Interesting thing with the new xx 03 xx Sections. Can anyone offer some insight?

The narrow scope conservation sections are for historic restoration or renovation projects. Most projects would never use them, but for a specialized work result, such a section could be quite detailed.

We had a presentation at a chapter meeting recently about specifying for historic preservation - a unique, and when needed, a valuable sub-specialty.

Looks like 26 43 13 has been fixed!
