Florida’s Product Approval System “Optional” State Product Approval Local Product Approval

Product Approval Summary FLORIDA BUILDING COMMISSION LOCAL BUILDING DEPT. FLORIDA BUILDING CODE LOCAL State (Optional) 553.842 553.8425 Building Envelope and Structural Frame Structural Wind Requirements & other products

Local Product Approval - Scope (1)  For local product approval, products or systems of construction shall demonstrate compliance with the structural windload requirements of the Florida Building Code through one of the following methods:

Local Product Approval – compliance A certification mark, listing, or label from a commission-approved certification agency indicating that the product complies with the Code. A test report from a commission-approved testing lab indicating that the product tested complies with the Code. A product-evaluation report from a commission-approved product evaluation entity indicating that the product complies with the Code. A product-evaluation report from a Florida professional engineer or Florida registered architect indicating that the product complies with the Code. A statewide product approval issued by the Florida Building Commission.

Local Product Approval - modification Local building officials may accept modifications to products or their installations provided sufficient evidence is submitted to the local building official to demonstrate compliance with the Code or the intent of the Code, including such evidence as certifications from a Florida Registered Architect or Florida Professional Engineer.

Local Product Approval – time valid Local product approval Overview Approval must be valid until such time as the product changes and decreases in performance; the standards of the code change, requiring increased performance; or the approval is other-wise suspended or revoked. Changes to the code do not void the approval of products previously installed in existing buildings if such products met building code.

State Product Approval - Rule RULE 61G20-3 F.A.C. This rule applies to approval of products and systems which comprise the building envelope and structural frame, for compliance with the structural requirements of the Florida Building Code

RULE 61G20-3 Scope Products in the following categories as defined by subcategories of subsection 61G20 (31), F.A.C., shall be available for approval by the Commission pursuant to 61G20-3.090, F.A.C., for use in the state: (a) Panel Walls; (b) Exterior Doors; (c) Roofing Products; (d) Skylights; (e) Windows; (f) Shutters; and (g) Structural Components. (h) Impact Protective Systems (2) This rule applies to approval of products and systems, which comprise the building envelope and structural frame, for compliance with the structural requirements of the Florida Building Code New Change 7/1/2013 (HB269)

4 Methods for State Approval Certification Method (Approving Authority-DBPR) Evaluation Report from an Evaluation Entity (Approving Authority-DBPR) New change HB269, 7/1/2013 The National Evaluation Service (NES/ICC) Miami Dade The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials Evaluation Service (IAPMO) Evaluation Report from a Florida licensed Architect or a Florida Professional Engineer (Approving Authority-Commission) Test Report

Application Review Process Two Review Processes: Three months Test report, Evaluation report (from an engineer) -Ten (10) days Certification For Evaluation entities other than engineer or architect

Application Review Process for All Methods Application Review Process for All Methods *Except Certification and Evaluation Report from an Evaluation Entity

10 Day Review

Quality Assurance Expiration Date For the Certification Mark or Listing Method, the QA expiration date will be the date the certification expires. For Test Report and Evaluation Methods, the QA expiration date is the date that the Quality Assurance Contract expires. For all compliance methods, an email is sent to the Manufacturer with a copy to DBPR when the Expiration Date is upcoming. Search criteria on the Product Search web page allows searching for expired Quality Assurance Entity Contracts.

ASCE 7 – 05 VS. ASCE 7 – 10 Design Wind Loads TABLE 1609.3.1 WIND SPEED CONVERSIONSabc Vasd = nominal design wind speed Vult = ultimate design wind speed determined from Figures 1609A, 1609B, or 1609C Vult 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 Vasd 78 85 93 101 108 116 124 132 139 147 155

ASCE 7 – 05 VS. ASCE 7 – 10 Design Wind Loads The new maps, when used in combination with the 1.0 load factor on wind for strength design and the 0.6 factor on wind for allowable stress design, result in a net decrease in design wind loads in Hurricane-Prone Regions. Parts of southern Florida (due to the re-introduction of Exposure D for coastal areas) are approximately the same when compared to previous editions of the maps. In the remainder of the Hurricane-Prone Regions of Florida, the design wind pressures are on average approximately 20% less than the loads determined from ASCE 7-05.

ASCE 7 – 05 VS. ASCE 7 – 10 Design Wind Loads Nominal design wind speed "Vasd"- using Allowable Stress Design (ASCE 7 - 2005) - old maps Ultimate design wind speed "Vult" - using Strength Design (ASCE - 2010) - new maps In order to convert the load "dp/design pressure" from ultimate to nominal you multiply by a factor of .6.
