The Florida code sections read as follows:
1715.5.3.2 Custom doors. Custom (one of a kind) exterior door assemblies shall be tested by an approved testing laboratory or be engineered in accordance with accepted engineering practices.
Per this code - Schweiss does engineered shop drawings and they are approved by a structural engineer in FL.
1710.5.2 Exterior windows and door assemblies not provided for in section 1710.5.1
Exterior window and door assemblies shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E 330 or TAS 220. HVHZ shall comply with TAS 202. Exterior window and door assemblies containing glass shall comply with Section 2403. The design pressure for testing shall be calculated in accordance with Chapter 16. Each assembly shall be tested for 10 seconds at a load equal to 1.5 times the design pressure (HVHZ shall comply with TAS 202).
Exceptions:
- Door assemblies installed in nonhabitable areas where the door assembly and area are designed to accept water infiltration, need not be tested for water infiltration.
-
Door assemblies installed where the overhang (OH) ratio is equal to or more than 1 need not be tested for water infiltration. The overhang ratio shall be calculated by the following equation:
OH Ration = OH Length/OH Height
Where:
- OH Length = The horizontal measure of how far an overhang over a door projects out for the door's surface.
- OH Height = The vertical measure of the distance from the door's sill to the bottom of the overhang over a door.
- Custom doors. Custom (one-of-a-kind) exterior door assemblies shall be tested by an approved testing laboratory or be engineered in accordance with accepted engineering practices.
