Part 11 - PREMANUFACTURED UNITS
Section R. 408.31134 - Compliance assurance programs

(1) A manufacturer shall obtain approval for a compliance assurance program for his building system. Units or building components shall be manufactured in accordance with an approved program in order to be certified. Compliance assurance programs shall be submitted to the commission in accordance with the requirements of R 408.31161.

(2) Before full evaluation, the commission shall have the bureau determine that the application for approval submitted to it is suitable for processing. If the application is found to be unsuitable for processing, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the unsuitability and the basis thereof within 30 days of the date the application is received by the commission and a portion of the fee may be returned. The findings of unsuitability shall be without prejudice. A subsequent submission shall be treated as a new application.

(3) Compliance assurance programs submitted for approval shall be evaluated for compliance with the act and these rules.

(4) If a compliance assurance program is disapproved, the commission shall notify the applicant with a written explanation of the reasons for disapproval attached thereto.

(5) Approval of compliance assurance programs shall be evidenced by the stamp of approval of the commission on each sheet, or by other effective means of identification. One copy of the approved application and documentation shall be returned to the applicant.

(6) A compliance assurance program or an amendment thereto which has been approved shall not be altered without prior authorization by the commission. All approved amendments shall be made a part of the written record of the approval.

(7) The commission may suspend or revoke its approval of any compliance assurance program whenever the approval was issued in error, was issued on the basis of incorrect information, or was issued in violation of these rules. If the commission determines that premanufactured units or building components manufactured pursuant to an approved building system do not comply with the act or these rules and the manufacturer fails to comply with a corrective order, the commission may suspend or revoke the approval of the manufacturer's compliance assurance program. Notice to the manufacturer and the inspection agency of suspension or revocation of approval shall be in writing with the reasons for suspension or revocation set forth therein. Appeals from suspensions or revocations shall receive timely review.
