  Subject: DCA10-DEC-002 Requests for Declaratory Statement on Rule 9B-72

 

This is an amendment to DCA19-DEC-002 (Requests for Declaratory Statement on Rule 9B-72)

 

We Manufacture a proprietary structural system that integrates a light gauge steel stud frame assembly with an EPS insulation core. The structural supports are recessed in the polystyrene on both the interior and the exterior, and is provided by steel framing members placed 24" on center and screw connected to steel angles at both top and bottom of the panels. Our Pre-Insulated Steel Framing system(s) are used in new construction projects for both residential & commercial buildings. The design of our building systems and components are governed by IBC Section 2210.

 

We are requesting a Declaratory Statement on Rule 9B-72 Florida Product Approval and it’s applicability to our systems under the following uses:

 

1.       When we design and engineer a system for a custom home or commercial building for a client, and the system is designed consistent with IBC Section 2210.  The purpose and use of our system in this capacity would constitute an exception to the Florida Product Approval rules and requirements, as stated in 9B-72.030 exceptions to the rule. Is this correct? If not, please explain why?

 

2.       When we design and engineer a system for the roof of a custom home or commercial building for a client, and the system is designed consistent with IBC Section 2210.  The purpose and use of our system in this capacity would constitute an exception to the Florida Product Approval rules and requirements, as stated in 9B-72.030 exceptions to the rule. Is this correct? If not, please explain why?

 

3.       If we design a wall section that is not sold as a part of a pre-engineered custom  whole building, but rather intended for use in a custom design or addition, and it is manufactured, designed, & installed consistent with IBC Section 2210, then the purpose and use of our system in this capacity would constitute an exception to the Florida Product Approval rules and requirements, as stated in 9B-72.030 exceptions to the rule. Is this correct? If not please explain why?

 

4.       If we design a roof section that is not sold as a part of a pre-engineered custom whole building, but rather intended for use in a custom design or addition, and it is manufactured, designed, & installed consistent with IBC Section 2210, then the purpose and use of our system in this capacity would constitute an exception to the Rule 9B-72 Florida Product Approval rules and requirements, as stated in 9B-72.030 exceptions to the rule. Is this correct? If not please explain why?

 

Although rule 9B-72.005 does contain categories that are applicable to our system(s), rule 9B-72.030 exceptions also contains rules that also are applicable to our system(s). Therefore, we are requesting a declaratory Statement from the board regarding the same. Photo’s of our system are attached hereto.

 

 

Sincerely,
