14
Local Product Approval Scope
 553.8425 Local product approval.- (1) For local product approval, products or
systems of construction shall demonstrate
compliance with the structural windload
requirements of the Florida Building Code
through one of the following methods:
15
Local Product Approval –
compliance
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A certification mark, listing, or label from a commissionapproved certification agency indicating that the product
complies with the Code.
A test report from a commission-approved testing lab
indicating that the product tested complies with the Code.
A product-evaluation report from a commission-approved
product evaluation entity indicating that the product complies
with the Code.
A product-evaluation report from a Florida professional
engineer or Florida registered architect indicating that the
product complies with the Code.

Commission.
16
Local Product Approval modification
 553.8425 Local product approval.-
Local building officials may accept
modifications to products or their installations
provided sufficient evidence is submitted to the
local building official to demonstrate compliance
with the Code or the intent of the Code, including
such evidence as certifications from a Florida
Registered Architect or Florida Professional
Engineer.
17
Local Product Approval
– time valid
 Local product approval Overview
• Approval must be valid until such time as the
product changes and decreases in
performance;
• the standards of the code change, requiring increased
performance; or the approval is other-wise suspended or revoked.
•Changes to the code do not void the approval of products
previously installed in existing buildings if such products met
building code.
18
State Product Approval - Rule
RULE 61G20-3 F.A.C.
 This rule applies to approval of products
and systems which comprise the building
envelope and structural frame, for
compliance with the structural
requirements of the Florida Building Code
19
RULE 61G20-3 Scope
(1) Products in the following categories as defined by
subcategories of subsection 61G20 (31), F.A.C., shall be

 (f) Shutters; and
 (g) Structural Components.
 (h) Impact Protective Systems
(2) This rule applies to approval of products and systems, which
comprise the building envelope and structural frame, for
compliance with the structural requirements of the Florida
Building Code
20
4 Methods for State Approval

- Evaluation report
- (from an engineer)
-Ten
(10) days

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.

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. Parts of
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. 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.

door units other than the size tested in accordance with
Section 1710.5.1 shall be permitted to be different than
the design value of the tested unit provided such
different pressures are determined by accepted
engineering analysis or validated by an additional test of
the window or door unit to the different design pressure
in accordance with section 1710.5.1. All components of
the alternate size unit shall be the same as the tested
or labeled unit.
