What is DSA Accreditation: What It Means

DSA approval is essential for construction in California schools, ensuring projects are safe, accessible, and up to code. DSA certification ensures that construction projects in California adhere to rigorous standards designed to reduce fire risks and withstand natural disasters like earthquakes. These guidelines are essential during various stages of a project, including the building, remodeling, expansion, or modification of structures.

As a DSA-approved manufacturer, we go beyond standard regulations by presenting detailed information on our innovative approach and analytical data regarding our ramp, deck, and stair design techniques. The DSA’s role is to review these details to ensure our methods uphold the safety standards required for certification.

Upon a project’s completion, the DSA works closely with the project’s design and construction teams to complete all necessary documentation and meet certification criteria. After a thorough review, the DSA issues a Notification of Requirements for Certification, marking the project’s compliance with California’s strict safety and quality standards.

Working with DSA-approved vendors is a sign you’re implementing vetted, reliable solutions. For schools, this means smooth, worry-free projects that are good to go from day one.
