As to the OIR Form, we are adding the wording "Cyclic Pressure Testing" to make sure inspectors are not mislead by companies that have tested to the impact portion of the ASTM E 1996 standard but have not complied with ASTM E 1886 AND ASTM E 1996. We are also adding the requirement for a Miami-Dade or FBC Approval.
I agree with WIlliam, compliance with "Hurricane" means it is an Approved product, the new wording will clarify this. I would encourage anyone aware of an inspector or inspection firm marking the OIR form as "Hurricane" for John Smith's product or window film to turn them into the Department of Financial Services who is keenly interested in prosecuting this fraudulent activity.
