CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE DESIGN OF NONSTRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS No Revision 2 Date 11 30 2016 Parameters nonstructural products mechanical and or electrical components listed on this certificate are CERTIFIED1 FOR SEISMIC APPLICATIONS accordance with the following building code2 releases 2000 IBC 2003 IBC 2006 IBC 2009 IBC 2012 following model designations options and accessories are included in this certification Reference report number VMA 45894 01 as issued The VMC Group for a complete list of certified models included accessories options and certified installation methods Fire Alarm Control Panels above referenced equipment is APPROVED for seismic application when properly installed 3 used as intended and contains a Seismic Label referencing this Certificate of Compliance4 As limited by the tabulated values below grade grade and roof level installations in essential facilities for life safety applications and or of equipment containing hazardous contents are permitted and included in certification with an Equipment Importance Factor assigned as IP 1.5 Seismic Design Levels 2.50 g 0.0 at Grade 2.00 g 1.0 on Roof Classes A B C D Seismic Risk Category I II III IV and Seismic Design Categories A B C D E and F all covered under this certification limited by the SDS value stated above section 13.2.5 of the third printing of ASCE7 10 by deriving the horizontal test accelerations using SDS 2.00 g and z h 1.0 deriving the vertical test accelerations using SDS 2.50 g all applications are acceptable for roof and grade installations where 2.50 g Seismic Installation Methods to rigid wall Test of Active and Energized Components Non Active Components and Equipment Structure by successful seismic shake table testing at the nationally recognized University of California Berkeley Pacific Engineering Research Center under the witness of the Certified Seismic Qualification Agency The VMC Testing was conducted in accordance with ICC ES AC 156 to envelope the required response spectrum RRS of horizontal flexible acceleration AFLEX of 3.20 g and a rigid acceleration ARIG of 2.40 g This test level to an SDS 2.50 g with a z h of 1.0 Functionality was verified before and after the shake test of Design for Supports and Attachments to the Building calculations and analysis of the equipment attachment to the building structure the equivalent static force method was using the Seismic Design Acceleration FP WP 5 for Load Resistance Factored Design LRFD methods This but is not limited to the unit anchoring requirements and external isolation calculations Design Acceleration Equation 0.4 x SDS 2.50 g x IP 1.5 x aP RP 0.417 x 1 2 z h 1.0 1.88 g is representative of the worst case shake tested condition as determined from Table 13.6 1 in

acceptance criteria for shake testing non structural components and systems set forth in the ICC AC 156 The Test Response Spectrum TRS enveloped the Required Response Spectrum RRS for all units The units cited in this certification were representative sample s of a contingent of models and all remained captive and structurally after the seismic shake simulation The units also remained functionally operational after the simulation testing as functional testing completed by the equipment manufacturer before and after the seismic simulations Although a seismic qualified unit inherently some wind resisting capacity that capacity is undetermined and is excluded from this certification Snow Ice loads have been and thus limit the unit to be installed both indoors covered by an independent protective structure and out of doors exposed to snow ice for ground snow loads no greater than 30 psf for all applications following building codes are addressed under this certification 2012 referencing ASCE7 10 and ICC AC 156 2009 referencing ASCE7 05 and ICC AC 156 2006 referencing ASCE7 05 and ICC AC 156 2003 referencing ASCE7 02 and ICC AC 156 2000 referencing ASCE7 98 and ICC AC 156 Refer to the manufacturer supplied installation drawings for anchor requirements and mounting considerations for seismic applications anchor locations size style and load capacities tension and shear are specified on the installation drawings Mounting details such as anchor brand type embedment depth edge spacing anchor to anchor spacing concrete strength special wall design and attachment to non building structures must be outlined and approved by the Engineer of Record for the project building Structural walls structural floors and housekeeping pads must also be seismically designed and approved by the project or Structural Engineer of Record to withstand the seismic anchor loads as defined on the installation drawings The installing is responsible for observing the installation detailed in the seismic installation drawings and the proper installation of all anchors mounting hardware this certificate and certification to remain valid this certificate must correspond to the Certification Label found affixed to the by the factory The label ensures the manufacturer built the unit in conformance to the IBC seismic design criteria set forth by the Seismic Qualification Agency The VMC Group and meets the seismic design levels claimed by this certificate When the site soil properties or final equipment installation location are not known the soil site coefficient FA defaults to the Soil Site Class coefficient Soil Classes A B C D Seismic Risk Category I II III IV and Seismic Design Categories A B C D E and F are all under this certification limited by the SDS values on page 1 respective to the applicable building code Importance factor and z h Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing connections to the equipment must be flexibly attached as to not transfer load through the connection structural integrity of any conduit cable trays piping ductwork and or flexible connections is the responsibility of others This does not guarantee the equipment will remain compliant to UL or NEMA standards after a seismic event Date April 19 2010 Date November 15 2013 Date November 30 2016 Rev 0 P Giuliano PE The VMC Group 3 of 3
