 We
know how tough it can be to find product approvals.
From Florida product approvals to NOA product approvals,
locating approval documents is often a difficult and
confusing process. Whether you are here in the Tampa
Bay area or on the other coast in Miami-Dade County,
you may need both state and local product approvals
before you can receive building permits.
One
of the first product approval organizations you will
come across is Florida Product Approval. The Florida
Product Approval system was implemented in 2003. Products
covered under the Florida Product Approval system include
windows, exterior doors, skylights, roofing, and other
structural components. Under the Florida Product Approval
system, certain building products must be tested and
approved in compliance with the Florida Building Commission
before those products can be used in construction.
To
look up a specific product for its Florida Product Approval
documentation, go to www.floridabuilding.org and select
the “Product Approval” link.
Another
entity you may encounter when applying for permits is
the Miami-Dade County Product Control Approval System.
Products like windows, doors, shutters, etc. are approved
by this agency through a Notice of Acceptance, or NOA.
The NOA is required prior to a product’s use in construction.
To
look up a specific product for its NOA, go to www.miamidade.gov/buildingcode
and click on “Approved Product Search.”
For
your convenience, The Molding Depot has provided some
product approval information on this website. The product
approval information provided by this website is in
Adobe PDF format. Once you open the PDF file, you may
see a chart that lists a Florida number and/or Miami-Dade
NOA number for each product. These numbers correspond
with the product numbers in each agency’s database at
www.floridabuilding.org or www.miamidade.gov/buildingcode.
Product
approval information changes frequently and the information
available is not limited to what we list on our website.
If you need more approval information about any of the
products we carry, call or e-mail
The Molding Depot’s Tampa, Florida office for assistance.
