WAC 296-150V-0500
When is an inspection required? (1) Before
we issue an insignia, each unit manufactured or converted must be
inspected as many times as required to show compliance with this
chapter.
(2) Before we issue an insignia, a conversion vendor unit or
medical unit must be inspected at the manufacturing location as
many times as required. Inspections may include, but are not
limited to:
(a) A "cover" inspection during construction of the unit
before the electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and structural systems
(if required) are covered;
(b) Insulation and vapor barrier inspection, if required; and
(c) A final inspection after the conversion vendor unit or
medical unit is complete.
(3) If we discover a violation during inspection, we will
issue a notice of noncompliance. You can correct the violation
during the inspection. If you cannot correct the violation during
inspection, you must leave the item uncovered until we approve your
correction.
(4) If a conversion vendor unit or medical unit is damaged in
transit to the building site or during on-site installation, it
must be inspected. This is considered an alteration inspection.
(See WAC 296-150V-0240.)
(5) Approved plans must be available.
(6) Once your unit is inspected and approved we will attach
the insignia. Before we issue an insignia, each conversion vendor
unit or medical unit is inspected as follows:
(a) Inspection(s) during conversion or alteration of a
conversion vendor unit or medical unit; and
(b) A final inspection after the conversion vendor unit or
medical unit is complete.
Note:
Each conversion vendor unit or medical unit must have a serial number so we can track inspections.
