WIldland Urban Interface (WUI) Products

Starting January 2008, the new 2007 California Building Code (CBC) becomes
effective. For products to be used in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), there
are some regulations that required building products to comply with specific
standards.
 
In an effort to provide the home owners, industries, designers, local fire and
building officials a readily list of “compliance WUI products”, the State Fire
Marshal is publishing this “WUI Products Handbook”.
 
All products published in this handbook have been reviewed and verified their
compliance in accordance with the new 2007 CBC by SFM staff. All products
published in this book are “approved” by the SFM. They are not “Listed” unless a
SFM Listing number is attached. It should be noted that products are not in this
handbook may still comply with the standards since it is not a requirement for
any products to be in this handbook.
