The biggest concern that inspectors will have concerning springs is R9.

Make sure that they are made safe at all times.
The best way to make sure your spring won't spontaneously disassemble itself into someone's face is to put a string through the center. You still want to make sure you have all of the proper locks and safety mechanisms to make sure it is safe otherwise, but the string will help.
