Product Approval

Overview

RULE:

9B-72.180

Equivalence of Standards (Transferred)

PURPOSE:

To review standards for equivalence to those referenced in the Florida Building Code and, if appropriate, authorize the use of analysis performed in accordance with the alternative standards for Florida Product Approval.

SUMMARY:

Statute permits the Commission to determine the equivalency of standards not specifically adopted within the Building Code for purposes of state product approval. This practice allows avoidance of unnecessary expense and delay imposed by testing to a new edition of a standard despite the fact that the existing data indicates that the product meets or exceeds the requirements thereof. The rule is amended to recognize the equivalency of the standards identified.
