CRSC · California Referenced Standards Code

May the Division impose manufacturer fees and what do they cover?

Yes. Under **§ 12-11A.207** and **§ 12-11B.207** the Division may charge manufacturers fees to cover costs related to **detectable warning products** and **directional surfaces**; those fees are placed into the **Disability Access Account**. The CRSC authorizes the fee and purpose but does not set amounts or collection rules.

Last reviewed: July 6, 2026

What the code requires — 2-4 sentences

The Division of the State Architect‑Access Compliance may impose a fee on manufacturers of specified products to cover the cost of detectable warning products and directional surfaces. This authority is stated in § 12-11A.207 and § 12-11B.207 of the CRSC.

The Division may charge manufacturers to recover costs related specifically to detectable warning products and directional surfaces; those fees are collected under the authority in § 12-11A.207 and § 12-11B.207.

Requirements in detail

Who may be charged

  • Charged party: Manufacturers of the specified products. The sections refer explicitly to fees imposed on manufacturers. § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207.

What products the fee covers

  • Covered products: Detectable warning products and directional surfaces (products evaluated under these CRSC sections). See the surrounding product approval scope in the CRSC (e.g., requirements for detectable warnings and directional surfaces). § 12-11A.203–204 / § 12-11B.203–204.

Purpose of the fee

  • Purpose: To cover the cost associated with the detectable warning products and directional surfaces (e.g., evaluation, approval, quality assurance activities as implemented by the Division). The statute-language is limited to “to cover the cost of detectable warning products and directional surfaces.” § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207.

Where the fees go

  • Deposit/account: Fees collected are placed in the Disability Access Account as described in the adjacent provision § 12-11A.208 / § 12-11B.208.

Process elements referenced elsewhere in the same CRSC text

  • Independent evaluation: The CRSC requires evaluation by an independent entity for detectable warning products and directional surfaces; that evaluation and the two‑year recertification cycle are context for the fee authority (see § 12-11A.205 / § 12-11B.205 and § 12-11A.206 / § 12-11B.206). These provisions show operational activities that the fees likely support.

(Note: the CRSC text excerpts state the Division “may impose a fee” and identify purpose and account. They do not provide fee amounts or a fee schedule in these sections.)

Exceptions & special cases

  • The CRSC sections retrieved do not include (in the text available) any fee schedule, formulas, exemptions, or administrative collection procedures. The sections say the Division “may impose a fee” and state the general purpose; they do not specify amounts, who sets the dollar value, or whether particular manufacturers (for example small businesses or residential‑only product makers) are exempt. If you need that operational detail, it is not present in § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207 as retrieved.
  • The CRSC does show a related operational caveat: when the products are for residential housing, evaluation is to be done in consultation with the Department of Housing and Community Development (see § 12-11A.205 / § 12-11B.205), which may affect how fees are applied or administered for residential‑use products.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the code sets a dollar amount or method of calculation. The CRSC language gives the Division authority to impose fees but does not include a fee schedule or formula in § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207.
  • Confusing the recipient of the fee: the fee is on manufacturers, not purchasers, installers, or owners, according to the text of the sections. § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207.
  • Assuming fees are deposited into the general fund. The CRSC directs fees into the Disability Access Account (see § 12-11A.208 / § 12-11B.208), not a general appropriation, per the retrieved text.
  • Overlooking the link between fees and periodic recertification/evaluation. The CRSC also requires two‑year recertification (which is a recurring cost likely supported by fees) — § 12-11A.206 / § 12-11B.206.

Worked example — concrete scenario applying the rule (numbers are illustrative)

The CRSC does not set fee amounts; the numbers below are a hypothetical illustration to show how a Division fee could function in practice (the statutory text does not set these figures).

  • Scenario facts (hypothetical):

    • The Division decides to charge a recertification fee of $500 per product submission every two years (amount chosen for illustration only).
    • There are 120 manufacturers submitting detectable warning product recertifications in a two‑year cycle.
  • Calculation:

    • Fee revenue per cycle = 120 manufacturers × $500 = $60,000.
    • According to the CRSC, the collected fees would be placed in the Disability Access Account for use to cover the costs stated in § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207. § 12-11A.208 / § 12-11B.208.
  • What that pays for (examples tied to nearby CRSC provisions):

    • Independent entity evaluations and testing administration (related to § 12-11A.205 / § 12-11B.205).
    • Recertification processing every two years (related to § 12-11A.206 / § 12-11B.206).

Remember: the CRSC text authorizes fees and specifies purpose and account, but does not supply fee amounts, billing procedure, or exemptions. Any actual fee schedule would have to be adopted or published by the Division or other implementing authority outside the language of § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207 as retrieved.

Related provisions

  • § 12-11A.205 / § 12-11B.205 — Independent entity evaluation requirement for detectable warning products and directional surfaces.
  • § 12-11A.206 / § 12-11B.206 — Two‑year recertification requirement for detectable warning products and directional surfaces.
  • § 12-11A.208 / § 12-11B.208 — Fees received are placed in the Disability Access Account.
  • § 12-11A.203 / § 12-11B.203 — Detectable warning products must comply with Title 24 requirements (context for what products are covered).
  • § 12-11A.204 / § 12-11B.204 — Directional surfaces must comply with Title 24 requirements.

(If you need the Division’s actual fee schedule, collection procedures, or administrative rules, those are not contained in § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207 as retrieved and would need to be obtained from Division publications, an implementing regulation, or administrative guidance.)

Frequently asked questions

Who exactly is a "manufacturer" under these sections?

The CRSC text uses the term manufacturers but does not define it within § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207. For a legal definition you would check the definitions provision in the CRSC or the Division’s implementing rules; the sections as retrieved do not supply a detailed definition.

Does the code set the dollar amount of the fee?

No. § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207 authorize the Division to impose a fee and state the purpose; they do not set dollar amounts or a fee formula.

Where are collected fees deposited?

Fees collected under these sections are placed in the Disability Access Account per § 12-11A.208 / § 12-11B.208.

Are residential products treated differently?

The CRSC requires consultation with the Department of Housing and Community Development when products are for residential housing in the evaluation process (see § 12-11A.205 / § 12-11B.205). The fee sections themselves do not spell out different fee rules for residential products.

How often will fees likely recur?

While § 12-11A.207 / § 12-11B.207 do not describe frequency, the code requires recertification every two years for these products (§ 12-11A.206 / § 12-11B.206), which is a common recurring administrative interval that fees could be linked to.
