About Florida Product Approval

In October 2003, the Florida Product Approval was developed in response to the state’s vulnerability to hurricanes. Because roughly 40% of hurricanes that make landfall on the US east coast hit Florida, the state has some of the most stringent building codes across the country.

The Florida Building Code requires buildings to have products rated for winds up to 111 mph. In homes in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), the requirement was raised to have products rated for winds up to 130 mph. A Florida Product Approval guarantees products are able to withstand these harsh wind conditions and are suitable for use throughout the state.

Since the adoption of the Florida Building Code, there has been a dramatic impact on reducing hurricane damage and losses. The code has helped protect property investments and has saved insurers in mitigation costs linked to natural disasters. Plus, the state of Florida updates the code every three years for continuous improvement.
