Notice of Implementation—Industrialized Buildings and Building Components
[54 Pa.B. 145]
[Saturday, January 13, 2024]The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is providing an update regarding the notice for the implementation of the regulations published at 53 Pa.B. 830 (February 11, 2023) found at https://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/Display/pabull?file=/secure/pabulletin/data/vol53/53-6/181.html.
Under section 5 of the Industrialized Housing Act (act) (35 P.S. § 1651.5), the amendments of Chapter 145 (relating to industrial housing and components) expanded the Department's role to include monitoring the production of industrialized buildings and building components.
The implementation of these regulations is final.
Under the act's certification program, the Department oversees the production, installation and inspection of new industrialized buildings. Industrialized buildings and building components produced under the certification program, by evidence of the notice of approval, are deemed to comply with the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act (35 P.S. §§ 7210.101—7210.1103). This type of certification program mirrors the current program established for industrialized housing.
As noted at 53 Pa.B. 830, the phase-in period concluded on December 31, 2023. Industrialized buildings and building components must now be certified under the act to be approved for placement in this Commonwealth.
This program establishes uniform standards and methods of construction for industrialized housing, buildings and housing and building components intended for sale, lease or installation for use in this Commonwealth.
Program inquiries should be directed to Michael Moglia, Director, Housing and Buildings Standards Division, Department of Community and Economic Development, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120-0225, (717) 720-7416, mmoglia@pa.gov.
