OAR 918-674-0720. Prefabricated Components

(1) Manufacturers producing prefabricated components or prefabricated component buildings must: (a) Submit a compliance control program manual that is specific to a single division registered manufacturing facility. The manual must include, but is not limited to, design and engineering information sufficient enough for the division to verify the manufacturer’s system of performance and capabilities to manufacture prefabricated components for compliance with division requirements and the following: (A) The method of construction uses closed construction that does not conceal any system that requires a cover inspection prior to leaving the manufacturing facility; and (B) The materials used meet or exceed the applicable requirements in the Oregon Structural Specialty Code. (b) The compliance control program manual must be submitted with a completed division-approved application form using the section applicable to compliance control manuals along with applicable fees established in OAR 918-674-0730. (c) Compliance control program manuals approved by the division will be returned to the manufacturer with a letter of authorization describing specific aspects of the approval. (2) An approved compliance control program manual does not expire. However, the manufacturer must keep the manual up to date by submitting amendments to the division when there is a change to the approved manual including, but not limited to, changes in manufacturing processes, procedures, methods of construction, materials, or key personnel. An amended compliance control program manual must be submitted to the division using a division-approved application form for a compliance control program along with applicable fees established in OAR 918-674-0730. (3) Manufacturers of prefabricated components must ensure components are identified as required in OAR 918-674-0690 and that insignia of compliance are affixed according to the applicable provisions in OAR 918-674-0670. (4) The division does not perform plan review or inspection of individual prefabricated components. Prefabricated components authorized by the division to have insignia of compliance affixed are contemplated to be included in the permit, plan review and inspection process by the local building department where the prefabricated components are associated with a building construction project.
