The State Architect shall certify seismic gas shutoff devices which, as determined by the State Architect, comply with Chapter 12-23 (commencing with Section 12-23-101) of Part 12 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and which meet all of the following requirements:
(a) (1) The design of the device shall be operationally simplistic with an integral process design for assuring an optimum level of control and trouble-free functional operation.

(b) The design of the device shall provide a proven method to automatically provide for expedient and safe gas shutoff in an emergency.
(c) The design of the device shall minimize or preclude the disruption to the flow of gas from erroneous vibrations, alien forces, or both erroneous vibrations and alien forces.
(d) The design of the device shall provide a capability for ease of consumer or owner resetting without concern for safety.
