Where are costs of inspection and enforcement addressed (reserved)?

Both CRSC entries for inspection/testing costs and enforcement are reserved (no active CRSC rule) — see **§ 12-13-1560** and **§ 12-13-1561** in the CRSC, which point to Public Resources Code references for substantive authority.

What the code requires — plain English

The California Referenced Standards Code (CRSC) does not contain operative text allocating inspection/testing costs or setting enforcement procedures in these places — both topics are expressly reserved. The CRSC headings § 12-13-1560 (COSTS OF INSPECTION AND TESTING) and § 12-13-1561 (ENFORCEMENT) are shown as reserved/repealed in the CRSC text, with authority and cross‑references noted but no active provisions.

Both the costs-of-inspection/testing and enforcement entries in the CRSC are reserved — there is no operative CRSC rule in § 12-13-1560 or § 12-13-1561; consult the referenced Public Resources Code or agency rules for substantive authority.

Key controlling sections (first mention)

  • § 12-13-1560 — COSTS OF INSPECTION AND TESTING (RESERVED).
  • § 12-13-1561 — ENFORCEMENT (RESERVED).

Requirements in detail

Because both sections are reserved, there is no CRSC language that prescribes who pays inspection/testing costs or how enforcement is carried out. The CRSC entry for each section does, however, record the statutory authority and the Public Resources Code section(s) that were the references for the topic when text existed:

  • § 12-13-1560 lists Authority: Section 25218(e), Public Resources Code; Reference: Section 25926, Public Resources Code; history notes that the provision was repealed.
  • § 12-13-1561 lists Authority: Section 25218(e), Public Resources Code; Reference: Section 25931, Public Resources Code; history shows a repealer filing.

Exceptions & special cases

  • There are no exceptions recorded inside the CRSC sections because the sections themselves are reserved (no operative text to except from). The CRSC entries do show historical repealer filings.
  • Substantive allocation of inspection costs or enforcement procedures may still exist elsewhere (for example, in the Public Resources Code provisions referenced by the CRSC entry, or in agency regulations, or local ordinances). Those sources are not printed in these CRSC sections; you must consult the referenced statutes or agency rules for concrete requirements.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the CRSC itself currently sets fees or enforcement procedures by reading the headings — the headings are present, but the sections are reserved and contain no enforceable text. Check the actual section text (it’s empty/repealed).
  • Citing § 12-13-1560 or § 12-13-1561 as authority for a fee or enforcement procedure — because these are reserved, they do not provide such authority. Use the referenced Public Resources Code sections or agency rules instead.

Worked example — locating who pays for an insulation test

Scenario: A manufacturer is told the Commission will test insulation and invoice the manufacturer for testing and inspection costs.

Step 1 — Look in the CRSC: Check § 12-13-1560 to see if CRSC prescribes cost allocation. Result: reserved / repealed — CRSC contains no operative cost rule.

Step 2 — Follow the CRSC reference: § 12-13-1560 lists a reference to Public Resources Code § 25926. That is the next statute to read for any statutory cost allocation (the CRSC itself directs you there but contains no text).

Step 3 — Check the enforcement entry: § 12-13-1561 is reserved; it lists a reference to Public Resources Code § 25931 for enforcement matters. For who carries enforcement costs or penalties, review that statute and any implementing agency regulations.

Step 4 — If the Public Resources Code (or agency regs) is unclear, check administrative rules or contact the enforcing agency directly to request the fee policy or invoice basis. The CRSC will not provide that billing detail because both relevant sections are reserved.

Related provisions (CRSC references)

  • § 12-13-1558 — Inspections (CRSC inspection access to premises; see CRSC).
  • § 12-13-1559 — Performance tests (Commission may conduct/contract tests; forms basis for enforcement).
  • § 12-13-1562 — Release of information (confidentiality rules for information submitted to the Commission).

Frequently asked questions

Where in the CRSC does it say who pays inspection or testing costs?

CRSC headings exist at § 12-13-1560 (Costs of Inspection and Testing) but that section is reserved (no operative text). The CRSC entry does reference Public Resources Code § 25926; consult that statute or agency rules for substantive allocation.

Does the CRSC provide enforcement procedures for insulation standards?

No. § 12-13-1561 is labeled “ENFORCEMENT (RESERVED)” and contains no enforceable language; it references Public Resources Code § 25931 for enforcement-related authority.

If a local agency invoices me for inspection costs, can I rely on the CRSC to check the validity?

No — the CRSC sections on inspection costs/enforcement are reserved. To validate the invoice, review the referenced statutes (Public Resources Code) and the local agency’s enabling ordinance or fee schedule.

Are there historical notes that explain why the sections are empty?

Yes — the CRSC entries include HISTORY lines showing repealer filings and effective dates for the repeals; the CRSC therefore records that text once existed but was repealed.

Who should I contact to learn the current inspection/testing fee policy?

Contact the enforcing agency listed in the relevant program (for insulation standards, the Commission named in the CRSC entries) or consult the Public Resources Code sections referenced by the CRSC, since the CRSC sections themselves are reserved.
