ASTM E651/E651M PDF

1.1 This practice is intended as a companion standard to Specification E541, Specification for Agencies Engaged in System Analysis and Compliance Assurance for Manufactured Building. Specification E541 covers criteria by which the technical resources of agencies may be evaluated for their capability to perform the system analysis or compliance assurance function, or both, in the evaluation and inspection of manufactured building. This standard 2 includes questions that should be asked of system analysis and compliance assurance agencies in order for the administrative agency to evaluate their competency. Personnel matters are not highlighted in this standard since they are covered in detail in Specification E541. This is not meant to imply that they are not important.
