superior quality, strength, fire resistance, effectiveness, durability,

Jurisdiction to demonstrate equivalency prior to installation.
The Authority Having Jurisdiction shall have the authority to
approve or disapprove the system, method, or device for the
intended purpose. [HCD 1] (See Section 1.8.7)
However, the exercise of this discretionary approval by the Authority Having Jurisdiction shall have no effect beyond the jurisdictional boundaries of said Authority Having Jurisdiction. An alternate material or method of construction so approved shall not be considered as in accordance with the requirements, intent, or both of this code for a purpose other than that granted by the Authority Having Jurisdiction where the submitted data does not prove equivalency.
