Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.31133 - Building systems
Rule 1133.
(1) To
obtain approval for premanufactured units or building components, a
manufacturer shall submit a building system for evaluation by the bureau in
accordance with the requirements of
R 408.31151. Building systems shall
be identified by model number or component number.
(2) Before a full evaluation, the bureau
shall determine that building systems submitted to it are suitable for
processing. If the application is found to be unsuitable for processing, the
applicant shall be notified in writing of the unsuitability and the basis
thereof within 30 days of the date the application is received by the bureau
and a portion of the fee may be returned. The finding of unsuitability is
without prejudice. A subsequent submission shall be treated as a new
application.
(3) The bureau may
require tests to determine whether a building system meets the codes,
standards, and requirements of the act and these rules, if that determination
cannot be made from evaluation of plans, specifications, and documentation
alone. The procedures used shall be reviewed and evaluated by the
bureau.
(4) If a building system is
disapproved, the bureau shall notify the applicant with a written explanation
of the reasons for disapproval attached thereto.
(5) Approval of a building system shall be
evidenced by the stamp of approval of the bureau on each sheet, or by other
effective means of identification. Each sheet shall be numbered serially and
shall indicate effective dates of revision. One copy of all plans,
specifications, and documentation shall be returned to the applicant.
(6) The bureau shall prepare and issue to the
applicant a building system approval report signed by the drafter and by the
person in charge of the evaluation. The report shall be numbered and shall
contain a summary description of the building system and all of the conditions
of its use including installation instructions.
(7) A building system, or an amendment
thereto which has been approved, shall not be altered without prior
authorization by the bureau. All approved changes shall be made a part of the
written record of the approval. The authorization shall be in writing or be
confirmed in writing within 10 days of any oral authorization.
(8) A change in the codes, standards,
specifications, and requirements shall not apply retroactively. The bureau
shall notify all manufacturers with approved building systems and evaluation
agencies of all changes.
Each manufacturer shall submit to the bureau the necessary amendments to its already approved building systems.
(9) Amendments to building systems
may be proposed by submitting to the bureau for approval, appropriate plans,
specifications, or documentation showing the effect of the proposed amendment
on each building system.
(10) The
bureau may suspend or revoke the approval of a building system when the
approval was issued in error or was issued on the basis of incorrect
information or was issued in violation of these rules or is later found to be
in violation of these rules. Notice of suspension or revocation of the approval
shall be in writing with the reasons set forth therein. Appeals from
suspensions or revocations shall receive timely review.
