TRU Compliance provides turnkey special seismic certification of nonstructuralВ for generic product line certification as well as project specific applications.В TRUВ performs analysis, testing and experience data certifications for all types of systems and components and provides stamped Certificates of Compliance (CoC) and labeling details for all locations throughout the USA.В As leaders inВ IBC certification, our team works to make theВ compliance process efficient and cost-effective.ДЄMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS (ASCE)В 7ДЄSCE 7 Chapter 13 provides the overall code requirements for special seismic certification of designated seismic systems.В ASCE 7В is explicit that active components (those with moving or rotating parts) and energized components (those carrying electrical charge) must be certified exclusively through shake table testing or experience data.

The IBC also requires components that contain or convey toxic, hazardous, explosive or otherwise dangerous materials maintain containment such that the public is not exposed beyond specified limits. The International Building Code (IBC) requires that critical systems and components must not only maintain structural integrity during an earthquake, but also remain operational and continue to carry out their primary functions (per 2015 IBC Chapter 17).В These requirements are for systems that are part of the designated seismic system (Ip=1.5) andВ must remain operational for life-safety (in any structure) or are critical systems in essential or hazardous facilities ( Risk Category IV).
