40 Year Recertification Inspection
Miami-Dade's New Building Recertification Requirements
Electricity is arguably the most valuable resource we have in our modern society. Without electricity, most of the things we do and rely on on a daily basis wouldn't be there.
For those who do not yet know, due to the collapse of the Surfside Condominium back in June of 2021, Miami-Dade County building officials made significant changes to the recertification process. If you're a Dade County condo owner your homeowner's association is now required to recertify your building using some stringent new guidelines — especially when it comes to your E.D.S. (Electrical Distribution System.)
Post-Surfside Requirements
What Miami-Dade Now Requires
The Surfside collapse changed everything. Here's what condo associations and building owners need to know about the new electrical recertification requirements.
What Changed After Surfside
Due to the collapse of the Surfside Condominium in June of 2021, Miami-Dade County building officials made significant changes to the recertification process. If you're a Dade County condo owner, your homeowner's association is now required to recertify your building using stringent new guidelines.
The EDS Is Front and Center
The new requirements are especially strict when it comes to your E.D.S. — Electrical Distribution System. Every component of your building's electrical system must be evaluated under the new recertification rules.
Infrared Thermography Required
The most meaningful change is the requirement to conduct a scan using Infrared Thermography while the EDS is under a full load. This scan must be conducted by a technician certified as a Level II Thermographer.
Energized Inspection Under Load
The scan must be performed while the electrical system is fully energized and under load — not during a shutdown. This requires specialized expertise, equipment, and strict safety protocols to perform correctly.
The Most Meaningful Change
The most meaningful change is the requirement to conduct a scan using Infrared Thermography, while the EDS is under a full load. This scan must be conducted by a technician that is certified as a Level II Thermographer.
