12 Pa. Code § 145.64 - Modification after certification
(a)
Certified industrialized housing, buildings, and certified housing or building
components bearing the insignia of certification may not be modified after the
insignia of certification has been attached, unless the modification is
approved in advance by the evaluation agency on the basis that the
industrialized housing, building, or housing or building component, as so
modified, will still conform to the approved building system documentation.
Approvals of modifications which are consistent with the approved building
system documentation may be by oral authorization by an officer or employee of
the evaluation agency, but in this event each approval shall be subsequently
evidenced by a letter from the evaluation agency to the manufacturer within 10
days after the oral authorization. Proposed modifications which are
inconsistent with the approved building system documentation shall be treated
as proposed amendments to the building system documentation subject to the
approval of the evaluation agency under §
145.55 (relating to general
requirements for approval of amendments to building system
documentation).
(b) Modifications
of certified industrialized housing, buildings, or certified housing or
building components are not prohibited under the act or this chapter if the
modifications are made after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the
local enforcement agency. The modifications referred to in this subsection are
subject to other applicable laws, codes and ordinances of the Commonwealth and
of the local government of the jurisdiction in which the industrialized housing
or building structure is located.
(c) Nothing in this section shall prevent a
manufacturer, on its own motion or at the order of the inspection agency or of
the Department, from repairing damage to or remedying a defect found in an
industrialized housing component.
