1.1 本规范规定了行政机构的标准，该行政机构具有管辖权AHJ授予的监管权限，以评估建筑评估机构的能力和资质，代表具有管辖权的机构（AHJ）进行系统分析或合规性保证，或两者兼而有之，以满足监管计划的需要。行政机构和建筑评估机构（第三方机构）是标准的主要用户。 1.2 为了在通过政府或私人机构进行的建筑系统评估方面建立适当程度的州内和州间可信度，具有管辖权的当局应为代表AHJ提供系统分析或合规保证服务的建筑评估机构利用监督和批准流程，该流程可包括: 监管机构对监管机构监督和/或审计的批准，或监管机构和/或监管机构独立审计师对监管机构的批准，或者监管机构和监督的批准，以及独立认证机构的审计。 1.3 根据本规范审查的建筑评估机构可能包括政府或私人机构或两者。 1.4 实践 E651 可用于支持建筑评估机构的评估。可能需要考虑独立性、财务稳定性和客观性等其他标准。 注1: 实践 E651 旨在作为规范的配套标准 E541 并包括应向系统分析和合规保证机构提出的问题，以便行政机构评估其能力。 1.5 这些标准规定了参与评估人造建筑的建筑评估机构所需的最低人员要求以及技术和组织程序。 1.6 包括了建筑评估机构根据适用要求评估创新建筑系统和传统建筑系统的标准。 1.7 参与测试、质量保证和评估建筑构件的建筑评估机构可以使用规范进行评估 E699 . 1.7.1 规格 E699 与规范一起使用 E541 实践 E651 本规范规定了根据ASTM标准对工厂建筑构件和组件进行检查和性能测试的机构的最低要求。本规范中的标准用于评估机构正确执行指定测试、质量保证和检查的能力。 1.8 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前建立适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.9 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。

1.1 This specification provides the criteria for the administrative agency that has regulatory authority as granted by the authority having jurisdiction AHJ to evaluate the capabilities and qualifications of building evaluation agencies, that performs system analysis or compliance assurance or both for certification of manufactured building on behalf of an authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) that meet the needs of regulatory programs. Administrative agencies and building evaluation agencies (third-party agencies) are the primary users of the standard. 1.2 To establish an appropriate degree of intra- and inter-state credibility regarding building system evaluations made through governmental or private agencies, the authorities having jurisdiction should utilize an oversight and approval process for the building-evaluation agencies that provide the services of system analysis or compliance assurance on behalf of the AHJ that may include: approval by the AHJ for both oversight and or auditing of the regulatory body, or approval by the AHJ and oversight, and or auditing by an independent auditor for the regulatory body, or approval with the AHJ and oversight, and auditing by an independent accreditation agency. 1.3 Building-evaluation agencies examined under this specification may include governmental or private agencies or both. 1.4 Practice E651 may be used to support the evaluation of building-evaluation agencies. Other criteria such as independence, financial stability, and objectivity may need to be considered. Note 1: Practice E651 is intended as a companion standard to Specification E541 and includes questions that should be asked of system analysis and compliance assurance agencies in order for the administrative agency to evaluate their competency. 1.5 These criteria set forth the minimum personnel requirements and the technical and organizational procedures required for building-evaluation agencies engaged in evaluating manufactured building. 1.6 Criteria are included for building-evaluation agencies evaluating innovative as well as conventional building systems, against applicable requirements. 1.7 Building-evaluation agencies involved in testing, quality assurance, and evaluating building components can be evaluated by using Specification E699 . 1.7.1 Specification E699 is used in conjunction with Specification E541 and Practice E651 . This specification defines the minimum requirements for agencies engaged in inspections and testing performance in accordance with ASTM standards for factory-built building components and assemblies. The criteria in this specification are provided for assessing the competence of an agency to properly perform designation testing, quality assurance, and inspection. 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
