(a) Any factors specific to, or of particular relevance to, a specialty code or to the types of buildings, structures, systems or equipment in a geographic area that are inspected under the specialty code;
(b) Staffing levels or other specific criteria for building inspection programs established by a municipality where the inspector is likely to be employed or for building inspection programs established by the director; and
