.

BA

Bridge Products with an Architectural Finish
These products are the same as those in Group B, but they are produced with an architectural finish. They will have a form, machine, or special finish. Certification for Group BA production supersedes Group B in the same category.

C1

Commercial Precast Concrete Products (No Prestressed Reinforcement)
Conventionally reinforced precast concrete elements, including piling, sheet piling, pile caps, retaining-wall elements, floor and roof slabs, joists, stairs, seating members, columns, beams, walls, spandrels, and similar products.

C2

Commercial Prestressed Hollow-Core and Repetitively Produced Products
Precast concrete products that are prestressed with straight, pretensioning, or post-tensioning strands. Included are hollow-core slabs for floor, roof, and wall construction that maybe wet cast, machine cast, extruded, or slip formed. Other products include railroad ties, flat slabs, wall panels, utility poles, and all products in C1.

C3

Commercial Prestressed Straight-Strand Structural Members
Precast concrete structural members that are prestressed with straight, pretensioning, or post-tensioning strands. Included are stemmed members for roofs, floors, and walls, as well as beams, columns, spandrels, joists, seating members, and all products in C1 and C2.

C4

Commercial Prestressed Deflected-Strand Structural Members
Precast concrete structural members made with deflected pretensioning or post-tensioning strands for roofs and floors, beams, joists, and all products in C1, C2, and C3.

CA

Commercial Products with an Architectural Finish
These products are the same as those in the categories within Group C, but they are produced with an architectural finish. They will have a form, machine, or special finish. Certification for Group CA production supersedes Group C in the same category.

FOG Control DevicesPrecast Concrete Structures designed and fabricated to collect Fat, Oils, and Grease (FOG) preventing them from entering the environment.
GFRC
Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Products
These architectural products are made by spraying cement/sand slurry reinforced with glass fiber into molds. The products are custom designed and contribute to a structure's architectural expression through their finish, shape, color, or texture. The range of products is similar to those non-loadbearing units in category A1.
