HCAI OPM

HCAI Pre-Approval of Manufacturer's Certification

Reduce the California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) permitting approval cycle when planning installations in seismically active regions by obtaining the .

The HCAI Preapproval of Manufacturer’s Certification (OPM) is a voluntary program for review and preapproval of seismic design of supports and attachments for nonstructural components to be used in health facilities construction in California.

The OPM program is one of several preapproval programs administered by the HCAI Facilities Division, Structural Support Unit (SSU) and Inspection Services Unit (ISU). HCAI was formerly the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD).

This OPM should be referenced in Construction Documents for CBC 2019 and 2022 based projects and may also be used for guidance in ICC IBC based projects for other facilities inside and outside of California.

Benefits of HCAI OPM Pre-Certification

The Health Care Access and Information Pre-approval of Manufacturer's Certification, known as HCAI OPM, is a voluntary program for seismic design review of supports and attachments in health facilities. This pre-approval reduces permitting cycles for projects in seismically active regions like California, ensuring compliance with current codes. HCAI, formerly OSHPD, administers the OPM program to validate nonstructural component safety.

HCAI OPM certification demonstrates that products meet rigorous seismic standards before project submission, minimizing delays during construction document reviews. This pre-approval is referenced for CBC 2019 and 2022 based projects, providing confidence in product resilience. By leveraging OPM HCAI, health facilities can accelerate deployments and avoid redundant engineering assessments.

The OPM HCAI process involves comprehensive testing and documentation to verify seismic performance for various CPI products, including server cabinets and wireless enclosures. This certification not only speeds up approvals but also supports projects under ICC IBC guidelines outside California. Utilizing OPM OSHPD heritage, HCAI maintains high standards for seismic pre-approval across health care construction.

CPI offers HCAI OPM for a wide range of solutions, such as ZetaFrame® Cabinet System and Oberon® Wi-Tile® Ceiling Enclosures, with documents like OPM-0690 and OPM-0110. These pre-certified products ensure seismic compliance without additional design efforts, streamlining specifications for engineers and contractors. OPM HCAI approvals help health facilities meet tight deadlines while upholding safety protocols.

For projects requiring seismic resilience, HCAI OPM pre-approval provides a reliable path to compliance and faster project completion. Health facilities benefit from reduced administrative burdens and increased trust in product reliability with OPM certifications. Contact CPI for technical support on integrating HCAI OPM into your health care infrastructure projects.
