In the process of requesting this report we were informed that the California code cycle had updated on 1/1/2026 and new standards are in place. The old standard is ASCE7-16. The new one is ASCE 7-22. Unirac told me that they have yet to be certified for 7-22 for the RM10EVO. Oddly the U-builder report states compliance with 7-22 but apparently this is an error. Unirac will not provide a wet-stamp certifying compliance with 7-22 and the 2025 California Residential Code and/or the 2025 California Building Code.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I write this for two reasons: 1.
