Steps
Confirm ASME B30.5-2021 is the current edition (revises B30.5-2018) via asme.org's B30.5 standard page — hedge as 'current as of 2026' since editions are periodically revised
Fetch OSHA 1926.1412 inspection-category text for comparison
Compare frequent/periodic terminology in B30.5 against OSHA's shift/monthly/annual terminology — they are not identically defined and do not map one-to-one
Note OSHA's Subpart CC construction crane standard incorporated many B30.5 concepts by reference during rulemaking, but B30.5 itself remains a voluntary consensus standard unless adopted by a state plan or contract
Flag any state-plan or customer contract clause that makes B30.5 compliance mandatory rather than advisory for the specific job
Known gotchas
ASME B30.5 is a voluntary consensus standard — it only becomes legally binding where OSHA has incorporated it by reference, a state plan adopts it, or a contract requires it; verify which applies before treating it as compliance-mandatory
ASME standards are revised on a cycle (B30.5-2021 seen as current at time of research) — confirm no newer edition has superseded it before citing an edition year
