The Division shall be responsible for providing plan review and inspection
services to prefabricated structure manufacturers who have not contracted with
certified third-party agencies for these services. The Division shall be
responsible for monitoring certified third-party agencies to assure compliance
with the Oregon Specialty Codes and these rules.
(2) Authority. Any prefabricated structure
approved by the Division or a certified third-party agency and bearing an
Oregon insignia of compliance shall be considered in compliance with all
appropriate construction laws, codes and regulations within the State of Oregon
and shall be acceptable to the local authority having jurisdiction in all
Oregon municipalities.
(3) No local
authority having jurisdiction shall cause closed construction to be open for
inspection on a prefabricated structure or component bearing an Oregon insignia
of compliance.
(4) Certified
third-party agencies shall be responsible for providing plan review and
in-plant inspection services to prefabricated structure manufacturers with whom
they have contracted those services.
(5) The local authority having jurisdiction
shall:
(a) Insure the prefabricated structure
has been approved by the Division as evidenced by an Oregon insignia of
compliance;
(b) Insure the
prefabricated structure meets the requirements for all local regulations at the
building site;
(c) Insure the
prefabricated structure will meet the minimum setbacks from property lines and
other structures;
(d) Insure all
fire-resistive occupancy separations and required fire separation walls,
parapet walls and other fire-resistive requirements meet the Oregon
Structural Specialty Code or the Oregon One and Two Family
Dwelling Specialty Code;
(e)
Insure prior to issuing a permit that sufficient information is made available
to determine whether the prefabricated structure will be installed and used
according to its intended design and purpose as identified on the Oregon
Insignia of Compliance;
(f) Insure
prior to issuing a permit that sufficient information is made available to
determine whether site specific information or local regulations affect the
construction or intended use. Information should include but not be limited to
