Sec. 3282.204  IPIA services.

    (a) Each manufacturer shall obtain the services of an IPIA as set 
out in Sec. 3282.362 for each manufacturing plant operated by the 
manufacturer.
    (b) The manufacturer shall make available to the IPIA operating in 
each of its plants a copy of the drawings and specifications from the 
DAPIA approved design and the quality assurance manual for that plant, 
and the IPIA shall perform an initial factory inspection as set out in 
Sec. 3282.362(b). If

the IPIA issues a deviation report after the initial factory inspection, 
the manufacturer shall make any corrections or adjustments which are 
necessary to conform with the DAPIA approved designs and manuals. After 
the corrections required by the deviation report are completed to the 
satisfaction of the IPIA, the IPIA shall issue the certification report 
as described in Sec. 3282.362(b)(2). In certain instances a DAPIA may 
provide the certification report. (See Sec. 3282.362) The manufacturer 
shall maintain a current copy of each certification report in the plant 
to which the certification report relates.
    (c) After the certification report has been signed by the IPIA, the 
manufacturer shall obtain labels from the IPIA and shall affix them to 
completed manufactured homes as set out in Sec. 3282.362(c)(2). During 
the initial factory certification, the IPIA may apply labels to 
manufactured homes which it knows to be in compliance with the standards 
if it is performing complete inspections of all phases of production of 
each manufactured home and the manufacturer authorizes it to apply 
labels.
    (d) During the course of production the manufacturer shall maintain 
a complete set of approved drawings, specifications, and approved design 
changes for the use of the IPIA's inspector and always available to that 
inspector when in the manufacturing plant.
    (e) If, during the course of production, an IPIA finds that a 
failure to conform to a standard exists in a manufactured home in 
production, the manufacturer shall correct the failure to confirm in any 
manufactured homes still in the factory and held by distributors or 
dealers and shall carry out remedial actions under Secs. 3282.404 and 
3282.405 with respect to any other manufactured homes which may contain 
the same failure to conform.
