The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 24 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per jurisdiction per duty - test interval, test duration, who may perform it, what the record must contain, how long it must be kept, the penalty clock on a failure - each quoted verbatim from the authority with its effective date and code edition; the derived figure nobody publishes is the map of which code edition each state and each federal regime is actually on, so a reader can see that the '90 minutes' of NFPA 101 7.9.3 is 3 hours under BS 5266 in Britain and 1.5 hours as CMS words it, and changed-since on every adoption.", "embed": "
