Independent research service

Approval Index is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the State of Florida, DBPR, the Florida Building Commission, Miami-Dade County, the State of California, CAL FIRE / OSFM, BHGS, HCAI, DSA, the California Energy Commission, or any other listed authority. Government names identify authoritative sources; no seal, logo, or government branding is used.

Official sources control

Official systems and full documents remain authoritative. Information here is for research and informational use, can contain errors, and may lag a later official change. Open the official record and complete document before relying on a field.

No project eligibility decision

An approval, NOA, handbook listing, certification-directory entry, or equipment-list row does not automatically establish that a product is permitted, safe, suitable, code-compliant everywhere, currently listed, or acceptable for a particular project. Applicability depends on the source program, jurisdiction, code edition, building location, exposure, pressures, assembly, size, substrate, anchors, glazing, installation, utility requirements, and other conditions. The building official / authority having jurisdiction and licensed design professionals determine project-specific applicability.

Configuration limitations

Design pressures, impact classifications, HVHZ statements, dimensions, anchors, substrates, glazing, and installation details belong to exact approved configurations. No headline or maximum value is treated as universal, and this site does not calculate wind loads or select an installation option.

Worksheet limitation

The permit-prep worksheet is not a permit application, engineering calculation, code-compliance determination, pass/fail decision, government submission, or legal advice. Project data stay in the browser by default.
