Methods: (Choose 1 method per component to prove compliance)
Compliance to the material & components requirements must cover the required test methods and performance levels identified in the 101/I.S.2/A440 standard
(specific sections listed above).
Typical methods of compliance include at least one of the following:
1 A Test Report covering the performance criteria or referenced ASTM test method
2 Letter from the supplier stating the supplied material or component meets or exceeds the requirement
3 Requirements included in a Purchase Order
4 Participation in another certification program
5 A detailed QC system inclusive of verifying the requirements

Labeling
Labeling and traceability – total product
Standardized labeling guidelines
Code compliance requires labeling
Numbering system increases simplicity of
gateway product testing compliance
Hallmark Label shows conformance to total
program
Product Numbering
Numbering for Gateway size products and other products that qualify to fall within that same
base number
Each Product Type along with the Series/Model receives its own Product Line number and extension. See example below:
Product Type
Double Hung
Casement
Fixed Window
Series/Model
Extruded Aluminum
Wood
Vinyl
Fixed or Operable
Operable
Operable
Fixed
*Product Types can not be mixed in the CCL listing*

###-H-1234.01
###-H-1234.02
###-H-1234.03
###-H-1234.04
###-H-1234.05
This is the Gateway unit base number
This could be for a smaller than Gateway size unit
This could be for an A440 S1-09
This could be for Impact units tested to ASTM E1996
This could be for Impact units tested to TAS
This could be for a Mullion tested to AAMA 450
C.S. 3 Definition of a Product Line: Like products of the same operator with possibly different reports and DP rating but
common drawings or substantially common drawings (meaning the main structural members are identical). If product is
retested due to 4-year expiration with no changes to the product, the product line number may stay the same.
Label Format
Florida Building Code
 Evaluation (PE) –vs- Certification Method
 3 paths to Florida Approval
Certification
Evaluation
Test Report
 Most efficient can be certification method utilizing Hallmark Certification
Quality Assurance System
 Extended term of certification will be beneficial
Florida Building Code
Certification Path – Method 1 Option A – No QA certificate needed
Based
on the CCL: configurations and options it allows, and its expiration date
When
the CCL expires, the FLPA expires; may or may not coincide with the 3-year
Florida Building Code (FBC) cycle
The
manufacturer may make their own installation instructions provided that they
are strictly “as-tested” so they are limited to tested substrates (wood/conc./metal)
and anchors
This
path also allows for installation instructions with other substrates, provided that
they are signed by a third-party
Certification
uploads Validated by third-party. If installation instructions were
approved by a third party then validation is Administrative, if not then validation is
Technical requiring same calculations and review as an Evaluation Report
Florida Building Code
Fees associated with each path
 Method 1 Option A - Certification Mark or Listing
 Fee is $200.00 per each Florida Product Approval Number (FL#)
administrative review validation
 Method 1 Option D - Evaluation Report and Quality Assurance Certificate
 Fee is $1000.00 annual per plant we inspect, with any amount of active
Quality Assurance Certificates
 Method 2 Option B - Evaluation Report and Quality Assurance Certificate
 Fee is $1000.00 annual per plant we inspect, with any amount of active
Quality Assurance Certificates
