The original board was from the '80s. The board contained the electrical meters, circuits for townhouses, and circuits for common property lighting and GPOs.
Access to the wiring standards would have been really handy.

The electrician didn't have a copy?

Excellent initiative :-+
Same here in EU, if you need to design a product and be sure that it comply with whatever applicable standard you have to buy 10 of those as each one will refer to another one.

The electrician knew what they were doing, they demonstrated that on another meter board at the same complex.
Without access to the standard, it makes it difficult to reference the standard and show non-compliance.

Agreed.
It's very useful to be able to reference a standard to make sure that the work that has been done to that standard is actually to that standard.
I currently have educational access via the library at the college I'm studying at. I'm seriously considering finding cheap useless courses just to keep this access.
