Compliance documentation includes the certificates of compliance, reports, and other information that are submitted to the enforcement agency with an application for a building permit. Compliance documentation also includes documentation completed by the installing contractor, engineer/architect of record, or owner’s agent to verify that certain systems and equipment have been correctly installed and commissioned.
Under the prescriptive compliance approach, the project designer is responsible for completing the Process Compliance Forms & Worksheets. The project designer is required to complete all applicable sections of the NRCC-PRC-E. This form is required on plans for all submittals with covered processes. For the performance compliance approach this form will automatically be completed by the approved computer compliance program.
