If product is retested due to 4-year expiration with no changes to the product, the product line number may stay the same. Numbering for Gateway size products and other products that qualify to fall within that same base number Each Product Type along with the Series/Model receives its own Product Line number and extension.

Florida Building Code Evaluation (PE) vs- Certification Method 3 paths to Florida Approval Certification Evaluation Test Report Most efficient can be certification method utilizing Hallmark Certification Quality Assurance System Extended term of certification will be beneficial

Slide 17

Florida Building Code Certification Path Method 1 Option A No QA certificate needed Based on the CCL: configurations and options it allows, and its expiration date When the CCL expires, the FLPA expires; may or may not coincide with the 3-year Florida Building Code (FBC) cycle The manufacturer may make their own installation instructions provided that they are strictly as-tested so they are limited to tested substrates (wood/conc./metal) and anchors This path also allows for installation instructions with other substrates, provided that they are signed by a third-party Certification uploads Validated by third-party. If installation instructions were approved by a third party then validation is Administrative, if not then validation is Technical requiring same calculations and review as an Evaluation Report

Slide 18

Florida Building Code Fees associated with each path Method 1 Option A - Certification Mark or Listing Fee is $200.00 per each Florida Product Approval Number (FL#) administrative review validation Method 1 Option D - Evaluation Report and Quality Assurance Certificate Fee is $1000.00 annual per plant we inspect, with any amount of active Quality Assurance Certificates Method 2 Option B - Evaluation Report and Quality Assurance Certificate Fee is $1000.00 annual per plant we inspect, with any amount of active Quality Assurance Certificates
