I remember hearing about a town in Europe back in the 1920s or something, in France, I think. They started making concrete locally and used sand from the local beaches because it was cheap. Turns out it wasn't good sand and it was also not cleaned properly so it was contaminated with salt. This caused any rebar used to rust and for unreinforced concrete to turn flakey after a few decades. The community spent much of the 60s and 70s replacing bridges and building foundations all over the place.

Lawmakers are lazy and stupid. They are too busy fighting about the shit they know is a problem right now to fight over shit that might be a problem at some point in the future. There are standards for these kinds of things because people did stupid shit or cheap shit and it hit the fan at some point. You have these laws because at some point in the past you the same problem.
