The above referenced equipment is APPROVED for seismic application when properly installed, used as intended, and
4
contains a Seismic Certification Label referencing this Certificate of Compliance . Compare the project specific Design Spectral
Response Acceleration at Short Periods, SDS, value to the interpolated SDS value in the table below as it pertains to the
applicable building code and Importance Factor, IP. As limited by the tabulated values, below grade, grade, and roof-level
installations, as well as installations in essential facilities and for life safety applications, both requiring post event functionality,
were IP=1.5 are permitted and included in this certification.
The basis of this certification is through successful tri-axis shake testing at the nationally recognized Clark Testing under the
witness of the Certified Seismic Qualification Agency, The VMC Group. Seismic shake table testing was conducted in
accordance with ICC-ES AC-156 to envelope the required response spectrum (RRS) to the horizontal maximum flexible region
acceleration (AFLEX) of 3.2g and a zero period acceleration (ARIG) of 2.4g, based on the Design Spectral Response Acceleration
at Short Periods, SDS = 2.0 and z/h = 1.0.
5
Installation calculations were based on the Seismic Design Acceleration, FP/W P, of 1.5g for Load Resistance Factored Design
(LRFD) and the equipment being hard mounted. This included but was not limited to the skid anchoring requirements for ASD
design. The Seismic Design Acceleration, FP/W P, used for calculations and analysis, is defined per the building code (or
respective design standard) for the section titled Seismic Design Requirements for Non-structural (architectural, mechanical,
and electrical) Components. The seismic design level is based on the LRFD calculation shown below.
5
For calculations and analysis, the Seismic Design Acceleration, FP/W P, was calculated as 1.50g for Load Resistance Factored
Design (LRFD) methods, equivalent to 1.05g for Allowable Stress Design (ASD) methods. All calculations were conducted using
ASD analysis methods. This included but was not limited to the mounting requirements, enclosure analysis, component stress
analyses, and other component attachment calculations. The Seismic Design Acceleration, FP/W P, used for calculations and
analysis, is defined per the building code (or respective design standard) for the section titled Seismic Design Requirements for
Non-structural (architectural, mechanical, and electrical) Components. The seismic design level is based on the LRFD
calculation shown below.
Seismic Certification Level
This certification covers all applications that fall below the limitations in the chart below.
IBC 2012 / 2009 / 2006 / 2003 / 2000
SDS <= 2.00
IP <= 1.5
z/h <= 1.0
Soil Classes A, B, C, D, E, Seismic Use groups I, II, III, IV, and Seismic Design Categories A, B, C, D, E,
and F are all covered under this certification, limited by the SDS value stated above.
IBC 2012 / 2009 / 2006
FP/W P = 0.4 x 2/3(Ss=3.0) x (FA=1.0) x (IP=1.5) x (aP/RP=0.417) x (1+2(z/h=1.0)) = 1.50 g
IBC 2003 / 2000 FP/W P = 0.4 x 2/3(Ss=3.0) x (FA=1.0) x (IP=1.5) x (aP/RP= 0.4 ) x (1+2(z/h=1.0)) = 1.44 g

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
SEISMIC DESIGN OF NON-STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS
Notes and Comments:
1. All equipment listed herein successfully passed the seismic acceptance criteria for shake testing non-structural components
and systems as set forth in the ICC AC-156 (2010). The test response spectrum (TRS) enveloped the design response
spectrum (DRS) for all units tested. The units cited in this certification were representative samples of a contingent of
models and all remained captive and structurally sound after the seismic shake simulation. The units also remained
functionally operational after the simulation testing as functional testing was completed by the equipment manufacturer
before and after the seismic simulations. Although a seismic qualified unit inherently contains some wind resisting capacity,
that capacity is undetermined and is excluded from this certification. Snow/Ice loads have been neglected and thus limit the
unit to be installed both indoors (covered by an independent protective structure) and out of doors (exposed to
accumulating snow/ice) for snow/ice loads no greater than 30 psf for all applications.
2. The following building codes are addressed under this certification:
IBC 2000
IBC 2003
IBC 2006, 2009
IBC 2012
–referencing ASCE 7-98 and ICC AC-156
–referencing ASCE 7-02 and ICC AC-156
–referencing ASCE 7-05 and ICC AC-156
–referencing ASCE 7-10 and ICC AC-156
3. Refer to the manufacturer supplied installation drawings for anchor requirements and mounting considerations for seismic
applications. Required anchor locations, size, style, and load capacities (tension and shear) are specified on the installation
drawings. Mounting requirement details such as anchor brand, type, embedment depth, edge spacing, anchor-to-anchor
spacing, concrete strength, special inspection, wall design, and attachment to non-building structures must be outlined and
approved by the Engineer of Record for the project or building. Structural walls, structural floors, and housekeeping pads
must also be seismically designed and approved by the project or building Structural Engineer of Record to withstand the
seismic anchor loads as defined on the installation drawings. The installing contractor is responsible for observing the
installation requirements detailed in the seismic installation drawings and the proper installation of all anchors and mounting
hardware.
4. For this certificate and certification to remain valid, this certificate must correspond to the “Seismic Certification Label”found
affixed to the unit by the factory. The label ensures the manufacturer built the unit in conformance to the IBC seismic design
criteria set forth by the Certified Seismic Qualification Agency, The VMC Group, and meets the seismic design levels
claimed by this certificate.
5. When the site soil properties or final equipment installation location are not known, the soil site coefficient, FA, defaults to
the Soil Site Class D coefficient. Soil Classes A, B, C, D, E, Seismic Use groups I, II, III, IV, and Seismic Design Categories
A, B, C, D, E, and F are all covered under this certification, limited by the SDS values on page 1, respective to the applicable
building code, Importance factor, and z/h ratio. A seismic importance factor, IP=1.5, applies to this certification to include
essential facility requirements and life safety applications for post event functionality.
