PREPARATION OF MACAU CODES, STANDARDS AND CORRESPONDING MANUALS


LECM has assisted in a coherent and proper set of codes and standards that are now part of the legal framework that rules the civil engineering activities in Macau, following a deep analysis of the corresponding codes and standards used in China, Europe, Hong Kong and the United States of America.


This set consists in the following codes and standards, prepared in Chinese, Portuguese and English languages, all legally enforced since 1996, with the exception of the 24 standards for sanitation:
