Seismic Certification & Testing

Since the 1994 Northridge, California Earthquake knocked 11 area hospitals offline, a focus on nonstructural components and equipment performance under earthquakes has entered the International Building Code (IBC) and California Building Code (CBC). Agencies like HCAI (formerly OSHPD) developed Pre-approval programs like OSP and OPM, setting the stage for jurisdictions in moderate and high seismic regions to also enforce code standards with Pre-approvals and Pre-certifications.

Wind Certification & Wind Testing

Since Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida in 1992, building officials in wind-prone regions have implemented strict standards for building envelopes and outdoor equipment. Windstorms have only are becoming more frequent and intense. Pre-approvals from Miami-Dade County NOA and Florida DBPR focus on building envelope while Pre-certifications for International Building Code (IBC) and Florida Building Code (FBC) demonstrate position retention and prevention of flying debris during a high wind event.
