California OSFM Product Acceptance

The Office of the California State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is responsible for the development of minimum statewide building construction regulations that, when used in conjunction with hazardous vegetation management, will reduce losses from disastrous wildfires. State and local government agencies are responsible for the application of these (or more restrictive) regulations when a building construction permit is issued. The agency issuing the building permit or approving construction projects should always be consulted on what requirements apply to your project.  Below is a listing of some of the relevant regulations and policies for fire resistive construction in the Wildland-Urban Interface.

• 2010 CFC Chapter 49 “Requirements for Wildland-Urban Interface Areas.”
• 2010 CBC Chapter 7A “Materials and Construction Methods for Exterior Wildfire Exposure.”
• Policy #09_01 Eave Vents and Attic Ventilation Options

While the OSFM does not "approve" individual products it does provide statements of product "acceptance" based upon information supplied to the OSFM by the manufacturer. The published OSFM product acceptances for some of the products we offer are listed below along with any test reports provided to us by the manufacturer.
