1.1本规程旨在作为规范E 541的配套标准 ，从事制造建筑系统分析和合规性保证的机构规范。规范E 541 涵盖了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或合规保证功能或两者的能力的标准。本标准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。 本标准中未强调人事事项，因为规范E 541中详细介绍了这些事项 . 这并不意味着它们不重要。 1.2使用本惯例的首选方法是，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之前没有建筑评估组织经验的机构的评估。本惯例的目的并非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本规程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。 1.6 本标准并非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制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。

1.1 This practice is intended as a companion standard to Specification E 541 , Specification for Agencies Engaged in System Analysis and Compliance Assurance for Manufactured Building. Specification E 541 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 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 E 541 . This is not meant to imply that they are not important. 1.2 The preferred method for utilizing this practice 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 this practice 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 This practice is 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. 1.6 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
