Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 1141.
(1)
					 The commission or the bureau shall make, or cause to be made, such inspections
					 of the entire process of manufacturing, certifying, handling, storing, and
					 transporting of premanufactured units and building components produced pursuant
					 to approved building systems as it deems necessary. Each premanufactured unit
					 or group of building components shall be inspected by the bureau or an approved
					 inspection agency at least once during the manufacturing process. As part of
					 the process of evaluating building systems and compliance assurance programs,
					 the commission or the bureau shall inspect, or cause to be inspected, the
					 manufacturing facilities in which the units or building components are to be
					 manufactured.
(2) The bureau or an
					 authorized inspection agency shall make such inspections as may be required by
					 an approved compliance assurance program or as may be deemed necessary by the
					 commission.
(3) Before issuing a
					 certificate of occupancy, the bureau shall inspect, or cause to be inspected,
					 certified premanufactured units or building components which it determines to
					 have been sufficiently damaged after certification to warrant the inspection
					 and to take such action with regard to such units or building components as is
					 authorized under
					 R
					 408.31138, or as is otherwise necessary to eliminate
					 dangerous conditions.
The bureau shall require premanufactured units or
						building components which are so damaged as no longer to comply with the act
						and these rules to be brought into compliance promptly. If such units or
						building components are not brought into compliance with the act and these
						rules within a reasonable time, or if they are so damaged that they cannot be
						brought into compliance, the bureau shall order that the labels be removed.
						Irreparably damaged units or building components shall be disposed of in
						accordance with applicable laws.
(4) The commission shall have the bureau
					 examine each approved inspection agency at any reasonable time and without
					 prior announcement, in order to monitor the reliability of the agency and of
					 its monitoring of compliance assurance programs. Each examination shall
					 investigate the adequacy of all procedures used by the agency in monitoring
					 compliance assurance programs including inspection, tests, production methods,
					 process controls, operator performance, materials receipt, storage and
					 handling, workmanship standards, records, and all other activities which
					 implement the compliance assurance program in the manufacturing facility during
					 transport, on-site, and at critical subcontractors' facilities. The results of
					 examinations shall be kept on file at the offices of the bureau. Copies of the
					 reports shall be sent to the inspection agency.
Inspection agencies shall be notified specifically of any
						deficiencies and of the manner in and time by which the deficiencies shall be
						eliminated.
If deemed necessary by the commission, an agency's
						approval may be suspended or revoked as provided in
						R 408.31173. The examinations shall
						also be conducted before approving an inspection agency.
(5) The commission shall have the bureau
					 examine each approved evaluation agency, at any reasonable time and without
					 prior announcement, in order to monitor the reliability of the agency. Each
					 examination shall investigate the adequacy of all evaluative procedures,
					 including engineering evaluation of plans, specifications and test results,
					 testing, and analysis of compliance assurance programs. The results of the
					 examination shall be kept on file at the offices of the bureau. Copies of the
					 reports shall be sent to the evaluation agency. Agencies shall be notified
					 specifically of any deficiencies and of the manner in and time by which the
					 deficiencies shall be eliminated. If deemed necessary by the commission,
					 approval of an evaluation agency may be suspended or revoked as provided in
					 R 408.31173. The examination shall
					 also be conducted before approving an evaluation agency.
(6) An inspection entailing disassembly,
					 damage to, or destruction of certified premanufactured units or building
					 components shall not be conducted except to implement subrule (1).
