Questions:

 Question (1)  Is the building, including the System, regulated by the FBC?

 Answer:  (d)Yes, as per section 102.2. and 1601.1 of the Florida Building Code 5th Edition (2014), Building the project in question falls within the scope of the Florida Building Code

 

Question (2)  If yes, is the System governed by Chapter 30 ALI Standards?;

Answer: No, the project in question falls outside the scope of ALI standards

 

Question (3)   If not, does the FBC require that the entire System (including the lifting structure itself) be certified by an OSHA approved NRTL?

Answer: Since the system is anchored and attached to the structural elements of the building, the design and development of the system will fall within the technical scope of the FBC requiring that the building/structure be designed and constructed in accordance with the applicable material and design standard of the FBC and that the lifting structure be designed, tested and evaluated in accordance with the procedure developed by a registered design professional and tested by an approved agency as approved by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Question #1: When stucco applications are installed per ASTM C 926 as permitted under the Exception to Section R703.6.4, is compliance with Section 703.6.5 also required?
