Compliance to the code is probably the law, but the standards & codes itself is a minimum requirements.

Where a particular code has been adopted by a jurisdiction, state, province or city, compliance is probably the law, although in Minnesota non-Code pressure vessels _may_ be legal to operate if given clearance by office of pressure vessel safety. For farm and home use, the pressure vessel or
piping codes may be cited by the local building code. For example, my home hot water heater isn't a code vessel, but the relief valve must carry the Code cloverleaf stamp.

So the answer is an unequivocal maybe.
