Tallahassee, Fla. (June 2, 2010) ˜ Florida Gov. Charlie Crist Tuesday signed
into law new legislation that reconfirms IAPMO ES as an approved certification
body, ensuring that Authorities Having Jurisdiction across the State of Florida
will accept products with an accompanying evaluation report from IAPMO ES.
House Bill 663, Building Safety, revises, among other things, provisions
of law relating to building code inspections and enforcement, including revisions
to provisions governing inspection services and product evaluation. Included
in this portion of the new law is language reconfirming IAPMO ES‚s status
as an approved entity to provide evaluation services for manufacturers wishing
to market their products in Florida. The state previously granted this approval
in August 2008 with the passage of House Bill 697, Florida Building Code
Standards.
„The assurance of statewide approval, especially in a state with the geography
and emphasis on construction of Florida, removes a potentially substantial
roadblock for our current and prospective manufacturer clients,‰ said Amir
Zamanian, director of IAPMO ES.
Hundreds of jurisdictions nationwide now recognize the validity of IAPMO
ES reports, including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and
San Diego counties in California, Clark County in Nevada, and the cities
of Los Angeles and Scottsdale, Ariz., to name a few.
Building product manufacturers and building officials looking for a real
partner in the process of shepherding a products launch to market find one
with IAPMO ES. The organization has leveraged industry-leading expertise
in some of the most complex products through its partnership with VanDorpe
Chou Associations, Inc. (VCA). VCA‚s 30 years of experience with building
officials enables IAPMO ES to serve clients more effectively, efficiently
and professionally than any other provider of evaluation services.
