OSHPD SPECIAL SEISMIC CERTIFICATION PREAPPROVAL (OSP)
Special Seismic Certification is a process that came with the 2007 California Building Code and states your equipment will remain functional after a seismic event. The only way to get this certification is by placing your unit on a shake table that simulates an earthquake. If after the shaking, your unit still functions, it passed. Certification is obtained upon completion of a detailed report that is reviewed and accepted by a licensed California Structural Engineer
An OSP is an “extra step” whereby OSHPD reviews the report and approves the certification. This “extra step” is not a requirement by the California Building Code or OSHPD but having an OSP number is a valuable tool in proving that your unit is certified
