Seismic Certifications
Equipment Installation for Seismic Applications
Introduction
Seismic certification is an optional feature for Safety Switch products and provides
seismic conformance options to any of the building codes and seismic design
standards identified in the List of Supported Regional Building Codes and Seismic
Design Standards, page 10. Safety Switches that are seismically certified have been
certified to the seismic requirements of the listed code per the manufacturer’s
Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Equipment compliance labels and CoC’s are
provided with all seismically certified Safety Switches. Refer to the equipment CoC for
certification details and applicable seismic parameters. To maintain the validity of this
certification, the installation instructions provided in this section must be followed.

Responsibility for Mitigation of Seismic Damage
The Safety Switch equipment is considered a non-structural building component as
defined by regional building codes and seismic design standards. Equipment capacity
was determined from tri-axial seismic shake-table test results in accordance with the
International Code Counsel Evaluation Service (ICC ES) Acceptance Criteria for
Seismic Certification by Shake-Table Testing of Nonstructural Components (ICC-ES
AC156).
