Approval and certification status must be evaluated against the specific container size, working pressure, component set, arrangement, system configuration, jurisdiction, and scope of the applicable certification record.
Approval and certification status varies by system configuration, including container size, working pressure, component, arrangement, and jurisdiction. Approval of one configuration does not automatically extend to another.
A product-family reference, component approval, prior project acceptance, or approval in another jurisdiction does not by itself establish approval of the proposed installed system.
The applicable certification record, listing scope, limitations, model information, and project requirements must be reviewed before an approval claim is used.
Any approval or certification statement used in a quotation, specification, drawing, submittal, proposal, website, or installation record should identify the system configuration and the applicable scope of the certification record accurately.
A listed, approved, recognized, or certified component does not automatically establish approval of the complete suppression system or of every arrangement in which the component may be used.
Components must be used within the combinations, ratings, limitations, and installation conditions defined by the applicable system documentation and certification record.
Approval or certification status does not replace review of the adopted codes, project specifications, local requirements, permit conditions, and Authority Having Jurisdiction expectations applicable to the installation.
Final project acceptance remains subject to the specific system configuration, submitted documentation, installation, inspection, testing, and AHJ review.
Certification records, directory information, controlled manuals, component data, limitations, and model information may be revised. The current applicable records must be reviewed before preparing or relying on an approval statement.
Superseded, preliminary, translated, extracted, reformatted, or third-party copies must not be treated as controlling unless DueNorth has expressly identified them as current and approved for use.
Public website content may summarize approval considerations or provide released records, but it may not include every certification document, limitation, correspondence item, or configuration detail needed for project verification.
Contact DueNorth when the proposed configuration or approval status cannot be confirmed from the current public information.
The technical manual is not itself a substitute for the applicable certification record or listing scope.
