As you are aware the Pennsylvania Industrialized Housing Program will adopt the 2015 codes and 2014 NEC effective on April 1, 2019. As a reminder, please find the previous direction received from the state regarding the construction of homes to the 2009 codes once a manufacturer is certified to construct to the 2015 codes.
PA DCED has addressed questions regarding the construction of homes to the 2009 codes once a manufacturer is certified to construct to the 2015 codes. Once a manufacturer is certified to produce new Industrialized housing units to the 2015 codes and the 2014 NEC, the manufacturer will be permitted to construct to the 2009 code versions ONLY if the builder has signed a contract to build OR the building permit was applied for BEFORE the manufacturer was certified to construct to the 2015 codes. Should this occur the manufacturer MUST provide a copy of the the signed contract or approved building permit recognizing the 2009 codes to the third party agency and the documents must be forwarded to the PA DCED office and placed in the manufacturers file.
