manufactured in their state that are to be shipped to Colorado must have existing

statutory authority to regulate the design and construction of factory-built

structures and enter into a memorandum of understanding with Colorado to

establish recognition of the following:

(A)

Acceptance of construction codes that are adopted by the State of

Colorado Housing Board for factory-built structures sold into or offered for

sale in Colorado. (See Rule 2 of these rules).

(B)

Acceptance of the design evaluation and approval performed by the

Division of Housing or other third party agency for structures sold into or

offered for sale in Colorado.

the manufacturer on a higher frequency of inspection when it is unable to

conform, on a continuing basis, to approved Quality Control procedures

and or approved plans and standards

in each phase of manufacturing and performing a minimum of a rough,

final, and other inspections and/or tests (as required in Rule 2 of these
