Default Meanings

Hello,

could you please explain the meanings of the highlighted expressions:

Payments during illness/disability /pension provisions/insurance will be made according to statutory provisions.

The mechanical drafter maintains documentation/data of norm sections. (does it refer to a right section drawing? I know there is a cross section drawing, maybe it is a similar kind of drawing. It should probably be "normal section". But maybe it has something to do with standards...)

Thank you very much

Hanka
