CPI Universal, Standard Racks Are Now OSHPD Preapproved

May 31, 2016

Rack SystemsChatsworth Products (CPI) provides a variety of products that hold the Office Statewide Health Planning & Development’s (OSHPD) preapproval of manufacturer's certification (OPM) so that the stringent installation and permit processes in seismic regions can be expedited. We recently obtained OPM for our popular Universal Rack and Two-Post Standard Rack.

With the OPM certification, our racks guarantee that the supports and attachments are properly addressed for seismic requirements. 

CPI open racks are top-performing solutions for mounting IT equipment in computer rooms and data centers that do not require enclosure systems. Besides providing unrestricted airflow and easy access to cables, our open racks are made with sturdy material that holds high capacity loads.

The OPM program is a voluntary program that reviews and pre-approves the seismic design of supports and attachments for nonstructural components to be used in the construction of health care facilities in California. OPM should be referenced in Construction Documents for California Building Code 2013 based projects and may also be used for guidance in International Building Code 2012 based projects outside of California.

CPI is actively working to expand its portfolio of OPM pre-approved products. To access the most current listing, please visit CPI's list of approved products.
