                            Subpart A_General

 

Sec.  3282.13  Voluntary certification.



    (a) The purpose of this section is to provide a procedure for 

voluntary certification of non-conforming manufactured homes as required 

by 42 U.S.C. 5402(6) as amended by section 308(d)(B) of the Housing and 

Community Development Act of 1980.

    (b) Structures which meet all of the requirements of a manufactured 

home as set out in Sec.  3282.7(u), except the size requirements, shall 

be manufactured homes if the manufacturer files with the Secretary a 

certification in the following form:



    [Name of manufacturer and address where structures are to be 

manufactured] certifies that it intends to manufacture structures that 

meet all of the requirements of manufactured homes set forth at 42 

U.S.C. 5402(6) except the size requirements. Such structures are to be 

treated as manufactured homes for the purposes of the National 

Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 and 

the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. Such structures will be 

built in conformance with the Standards. [Name of manufacturer] further 

certifies that if, at any time it manufactures structures which are not 

manufactured homes, it will identify each such structure by a permanent 

serial number placed on the structure during the first stage of 

production and that the series of serial numbers for such structures 

shall be distinguishable on the structures and in its records from the 

series of serial numbers used for manufactured homes.



    (c) Whenever a manufacturer which has filed a certification pursuant 

to Sec.  3282.13(b) produces structures which are not manufactured 

homes, it must identify each such structure by placing a permanent 

serial number on the structure during the first stage of production. The 

series of serial numbers placed on these structures shall be 

distinguishable on the structure and in the manufacturer's records from 

the series of serial numbers used for manufactured homes.

    (d) A manufacturer may certify a structure as a manufactured home 

after having applied a serial number identifying it as a structure which 

is not a manufactured home. To do so, the manufacturer must secure the 

written consent of the IPIA. This consent may only be given after a 

DAPIA has approved the manufacturer's design and quality assistance 

manual in accordance with Sec.  3282.361, and after the IPIA has 

thoroughly inspected the structure in at least one stage of production 

and after such removal of equipment, components or materials as the IPIA 

may require to assure that the structure conforms to the standards. 

After certification as a manufactured home has been approved, the 

manufacturer shall remove the original serial number and add the serial 

number required by Sec.  3280.6.

    (e) Once a manufacturer has certified under Sec.  3282.13(b) that it 

intends to

build structures which are manufactured homes in all respects except 

size, the manufacturer must then, with respect to those structures, 

comply with all of the requirements of the Act and its regulations. The 

structures may not thereafter be exempted under any other section of 

these regulations.
