1.1本指南旨在作为ASTM标准E541的配套标准，即从事制造建筑系统分析和合规性保证的机构的标准。 标准 E541 包括评估机构技术资源在评估和检查制造建筑时执行系统分析（A部分）或合规保证（B部分）功能的能力或两者的能力的标准。这些指导原则 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。由于标准E541中详细介绍了人事事项，因此本指南中未强调人事事项。 这并不意味着它们不重要。 1.2使用这些指南的首选方法是，行政机构的合格人员访问系统分析和合规保证机构总部，与合格人员交谈，并检查相关记录和文件。或者，如果被评估机构充分了解评估所需的材料和人员，则可以在任何地点进行评估。 1.3以下部分内容不适用于评估之前没有建筑经验的机构- 评估组织。这些指南的目的不是排除对此类机构的接受，前提是该机构可以证明其在其他产品类别中的组织程序和经验以及关键人员的经验反映出对制造建筑评估中涉及的问题和过程的敏锐认识，从而保证接受。在这种情况下，行政机构可能希望考虑将临时验收延长一段特定的时间，在此期间，行政机构将有机会获得必要的经验，并展示其对制造建筑的能力和合规保证功能。 1.4机构未能对以下一个或多个标准做出令人满意的响应不应成为拒绝的唯一原因。此类失败应引起管理局的注意，并在随后的重新评估中受到密切审查。 1.5本指南旨在实现制造建筑监管的统一性。可能需要进行更改和修改，以适应某些司法管辖区的立法或其他监管要求。

1.1 These guidelines are intended as a companion standard to ASTM Standard E541, Criteria for Agencies Engaged in System Analysis and Compliance Assurance for Manufactured Building. Standard E541 covers criteria by which the technical resources of agencies may be evaluated for their capability to perform the system analysis (Part A) or compliance assurance (Part B) function, or both, in the evaluation and inspection of manufactured building. These guidelines include 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 these guidelines since they are covered in detail in Standard E541. This is not meant to imply that they are not important. 1.2 The preferred method for utilizing these guidelines is for qualified personnel of the administrative agency to visit the system analysis and compliance assurance agencies' headquarters to speak to qualified personnel and examine pertinent records and documentation. Alternatively, the evaluation may be done at any location provided the agency being evaluated is fully informed as to the material and personnel they will need to have on hand for the evaluation. 1.3 Some of the following will not be applicable in the evaluation of an agency that has not had prior experience as a building-evaluation organization. It is not the intent of these guidelines to preclude acceptance of such an agency provided it can otherwise demonstrate that its organizational procedures and experience in other product categories and experience of key personnel reflect a keen awareness of the problems and processes involved in manufactured building evaluation and thus warrant acceptance. In such instances the administrative agency may wish to consider extending provisional acceptance over a definite period of time, during which it is expected that the agency will have opportunity to gain the requisite experience and demonstrate its capabilities and compliance assurance functions for manufactured building. 1.4 Failure of an agency to respond satisfactorily to one or more criteria in the following should not be sole cause for rejection. Such failure should be brought to the agency's attention and be subject to close scrutiny during subsequent reevaluations. 1.5 These guidelines are intended to achieve uniformity in the regulation of manufactured building. It may be necessary to make changes and modifications in order to adapt to legislative or other regulatory requirements of some jurisdictions.
