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
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.
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. Parts of 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.
