OBS is in the final stages of the assembly process testing that is required for complete Metro-Dade County acceptance (NOA-Notice of Acceptance) and the company expects to have a successful report on the most popular assembly process -- foam -- within the next seven days. Final assembly testing involves building mock-up roofs to show how the tiles are installed using the three most commonly used methods: foam, nails and mortar.
Acceptance of the foam assembly process test results will allow OBS to begin selling their tiles throughout the United States except for Metro-Dade and Broward Counties. Upon receipt of the final assembly test results the company will submit to Metro-Dade in order to receive a NOA for their tile. Upon receipt of NOA the company may then sell both Dade and Broward Counties.
"Our tiles were designed specifically to meet or exceed the exacting standards of the most demanding building code environment in the country -- Metro-Dade County," said Howard Ullman, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Trading Corp. "We have been very pleased with the responsiveness of the officials there and look forward to working closely with them and our testing firm, IRT, to provide the final assembly testing information required for full Metro-Dade County acceptance."
OBS tiles surpassed the basic physical requirements for compression, permeability and absorption required for Dade County code approval. At current production capacity OBS can deliver up to 2.5 million tiles per month at an average price of $2.00 each.
