Certifications, Codes and Compliance
Hunter Onsite blast-resistant buildings are manufactured using documented quality, engineering and fabrication processes intended to support demanding industrial applications. Building configurations can be coordinated around applicable codes, project specifications, facility-siting requirements and site-specific hazard assessments.
Requirements vary by building type, installation location, occupancy and intended use. Final building selection, blast rating and placement should be confirmed by the customer’s qualified engineering and safety professionals.
Quality Management and Code Coordination
Quality and compliance involve more than a single certification. Hunter Onsite coordinates manufacturing controls, engineering requirements and applicable construction standards based on each building configuration and project application.
Quality and Manufacturing ✓ Documented quality-management processes ✓ Controlled fabrication and inspection practices ✓ Configuration-specific engineering documentation ✓ Quality records available as applicable to the rental unit | Codes and Project Requirements ✓ Applicable adopted building-code requirements ✓ Applicable electrical-code requirements ✓ Relevant structural-steel design and fabrication requirements ✓ Customer, jurisdictional and site-specific specifications |
Quality certification: Hunter Onsite operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
Industry Standards and Engineering Guidance
The standards and recommended practices associated with a project depend on whether a building is portable or permanent, how it will be occupied and where it will be positioned relative to potential process hazards. The following references may inform building design, electrical systems and facility-siting decisions.
Reference | Primary Focus | Project Consideration |
|---|---|---|
API RP 752 | Management of hazards associated with the location of permanent buildings in process-plant environments. | Applicability depends on building use, intended duration, occupancy and facility-siting decisions. |
API RP 753 | Management of hazards associated with the location of portable buildings in process-plant environments. | May inform decisions involving portable buildings positioned near potential process hazards. |
ASCE Blast-Resistant Design Guidance | Engineering methods and considerations for blast-resistant buildings in petrochemical and industrial facilities. | Used by qualified engineers when evaluating structural response and project-specific blast requirements. |
International Building Code | Model requirements addressing building construction, use, occupancy and life safety. | The edition adopted by the applicable jurisdiction, including local amendments, should be confirmed. |
NFPA 70, National Electrical Code | Electrical installation and safety requirements. | Electrical configurations should be evaluated against the edition adopted at the project location. |
AISC Requirements | Structural-steel design, fabrication and quality practices. | Applicable requirements depend on the building design, fabrication scope and project specifications. |
Standards, editions and jurisdictional requirements should be confirmed for each project. Inclusion in this table does not by itself indicate certification to, or universal compliance with, every listed reference.
Blast Testing and Performance Documentation
Physical testing provides a visual demonstration of how representative blast-resistant building and door configurations respond under controlled test conditions. Test results, blast ratings and response levels are specific to the configuration evaluated and should not be applied automatically to every rental unit.

Confirm the Requirements for Your Project
The appropriate building configuration cannot be selected from a general compliance list alone. Your project team should consider the site hazard assessment, occupancy, intended building use, placement, required blast rating and applicable jurisdictional or customer requirements.
Confirm before selecting a building: | |
✓ Site-specific hazard assessment | ✓ Required blast rating and response level |
✓ Building occupancy, use and placement | ✓ Applicable codes and customer specifications |
Hunter Onsite can provide available building information and help identify rental configurations for review by your engineering and safety professionals.
