Writer's picture: Built EngineersBuilt Engineers

Certificate of Compliance for Service Equipment: Update In accordance with §28-116.4.1 specified service equipment shall not be operated until the Department issues a Certificate of Compliance (formerly called the Equipment Use Permit).

  • Air conditioning systems* 

  • Ventilating systems 

  • Refrigeration system* 

  • Heating system (not including boilers).

* Including cooling towers


Beginning December 7, 2015: 


  • The Department will no longer accept inspection requests or perform inspections for the service equipment referenced above. Any inspections requests that were previously scheduled will be conducted. 

  • All referenced service equipment must be inspected and certified by a Special Inspection Agency (SIA) performing inspections in accordance with BC 1704.16 (Mechanical Systems) and BC 1704.1.2 (Responsibilities of the SIA). 

  • A TR1 Form identifying responsibility for the required special inspection and a PW4 Application for Certificate of Compliance for Equipment Form (signed and sealed) must be submitted at permitting. 
