Authentication Requirements

All wood roof truss assemblies must be authenticated and address the following:

Truss profiles

Bracing requirements
Truss connections

All truss profiles and layouts require authentication (P. Eng. stamps) unless the complete required design information is provided and authenticated through other documentation.
