(a) Plans approved prior to the effective
					 date of any amendments to standards used in those plans shall remain valid
					 until expiration as provided in this subsection. All plans and manual approval
					 shall expire on the last day of the fifteenth month following the month of the
					 approval by the Design Approval Agency. The Design Approval Agency shall
					 provide for the renewal of expiring plans and manuals which comply with the
					 requirements of this subchapter.
(b) The requirements of Section 4017 of this
					 subchapter regarding the size and contents of drawings shall apply to plans
					 submitted to a Design Approval Agency.
(c) Upon approval of a plan or quality
					 control manual, the Design Approval Agency shall issue a unique plan approval
					 number for each plan or manual. The plan approval number shall be prefaced by
					 an identification given the agency by the department. Each page of an approved
					 plan, each page of an amendment, and each manual cover, shall be wet-marked or
					 electronically stamped marked, wet-stamped or electronically stamped with the
					 words "Approved: State of CA-Certified Design Approval Agency," along with the
					 name of the Design Approval Agency, the date of approval, the date of
					 expiration and the plan approval number. The Design Approval Agency shall
					 transmit complete copies of plans, amendments or manual bearing the approval
					 mark to the manufacturer within ten (10) days of the approval date.
(d) When typical system approvals are used as
					 provided in Sections 4015(b) and 4016 of this subchapter, the Design Approval
					 Agency shall require the manufacturer's plans to contain a system of indexing
					 which eliminates confusion as to the applicability of typical systems
					 throughout the manufacturer's plans.
(e) The Design Approval Agency shall require
					 an approved plan or manual to be amended in such a manner that all superseded
					 information is removed from the plan or manual, which bears the agency's mark
					 of approval. The Design Approval Agency shall require the manufacturer to
					 provide written instructions which explain how to update the original plan or
					 manual by the insert of the amendment or removal of superseded pages.
(f) The Design Approval Agency shall maintain
					 a copy of all approvals for a period of three (3) years beyond their
					 expiration.
