What is necessary for obtaining a label of compliance?

Obtaining a label of compliance typically requires certification from recognized inspection programs. This certification serves as an assurance that a manufactured home meets specific standards and regulations set forth in the industry. These recognized programs conduct inspections to verify that the home adheres to safety, structural, and energy efficiency standards, ensuring consumer protection and quality.

While internal audits and approvals from local governments can contribute to overall compliance and standards within a manufacturing operation, they do not directly result in the issuance of a label of compliance for manufactured homes. Similarly, third-party advertising endorsements are not relevant to the compliance certification process, as they focus on promoting products rather than ensuring they meet regulatory standards. Thus, certification from established inspection programs is the key requirement for obtaining a label of compliance.
