The installer shall affix the correct installation seals to the manufactured home or the manufactured home accessory structure installed in compliance with parts 1350.0100 to 1350.6900. Evidence of compliance shall be supported by the submission of a certificate to the commissioner, the retailer, and the manufactured home owner.

The installation compliance certificate shall be provided to the commissioner and the owner.
