Seismic-Rated Power Systems: How Foxfab Meets IBC Certification Standards

Ensuring uninterrupted power supply is very important for maintaining essential services in regions prone to seismic activity. Earthquakes pose significant risks to infrastructure, particularly in industries such as healthcare, emergency response, utilities, and data centers, where power failures can have catastrophic consequences. To mitigate these risks, seismic-certified power systems are a necessity. This is where Foxfab provides reliable and rigorously tested power solutions that meet the stringent International Building Code (IBC) Seismic Certification standards.

What is IBC Seismic Certification?

The International Building Code (IBC) benchmarks construction and structural integrity in seismic-prone areas. An IBC Seismic Certification ensures that electrical and power distribution systems can endure earthquake forces without compromising functionality. Compliance with these standards is vital for mission-critical applications, ensuring operational stability during and after seismic events.

For a product to receive IBC Seismic Certification, it must undergo rigorous shake table testing. This simulates the extreme forces experienced during an earthquake, verifying that the equipment maintains its structural integrity and operational performance. Only after passing these stringent tests does a system earn IBC compliance, offering assurance that it can withstand real-world seismic conditions.
