Stamping designs not done by authorised persons.
(OP)
Heres a question which has puzzled me for a while and I have been unable to get an answer.
In a former life I designed a lighting mast for export to an American firm. Presumably someone somewhere would have had to stamp the design before it was constructed. How would this work as I did the whole structural design? Bearing in mind being British and not chartered I wouldn't be authorised to do this 'in' the USA.
The company didn't win the contract in the end anyway but I don't see how it would have worked out according to my understanding of the rules. Would it just be a case of the American firm buying the mast as a product suitable for the job and therefore being exempt from needing stamping?

CVG - Thats what I thought initially, I was originally under the impression it just covered buildings and whole site plans but I had recieved drawings for manufacture of a tiny 3m pole with a stamp which led me to believe it covered most things under wind loading.
