Off-hour inspections can only be scheduled through the LADBS.org website. You may schedule an off-hour inspection through our Online Services.

A product (or equipment) is considered approved if it bares either the approval label of the City of Los Angeles Electrical Test Lab, or listing or certification label, symbol or other identifying mark of a recognized testing agency. And in either case, the product (or the equipment) is installed and used according to any limitations or restrictions posed by the testing agencies and the requirements of the code. See section 93.0402 for more details.

Whenever an application for import/export is approved by the BBSC, any interested party may appeal the decision to the City Council within ten calendar days of the Board’s action. The appeal must be filed at the Office of City Clerk any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the final day of the ten day appeal period. 

The CBC, CRC, LARC, and LABC require certain materials/products to be approved by the Building Official. Materials/products that are required to be approved are found in many sections of these codes with the term “approved.” See the Information Bulletin P/BC 2014-119 for more details.
