SynC · Standards wiki
SynC Wiki
The SynC Wiki is an open library of 369 construction standards — every standard in the library, both those with an adopted revision and those still in draft toward their first. Every entry is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against.
The SynC standards library inside the app lists a smaller number, and both are right: it carries the adopted standards only. Working copies here improve continuously; an adopted revision is fixed and citable, which is what a project can be specified against.
Everything here is free to read without an account and published under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0, so you may share and adapt it — including commercially — provided you credit the source and license your adaptations the same way.
Standards are revised in the open: every published revision keeps its full history, a line-by-line diff against the revision before it, a SHA-256 content fingerprint identifying exactly what was published, and the attribution of everyone who contributed. Signed-in users can pull any standard into a project as an editable specification and datasheet rather than retyping it.
