Steps
Contact/visit the Office of the State Fire Marshal Flame Retardant Chemicals and Fabrics program (osfm.fire.ca.gov) rather than assuming a generic NFPA 701 pass satisfies California's separate registration regime
Request the current California Approved List of Flame Retardant Chemicals and Fabrics (published at least annually per Title 19 CCR) to confirm the specific chemical, fabric, or applicator is on the state's registered list
Verify whether the fabric itself is pre-treated and separately registered, or whether a registered flame-retardant applicator treated it after the fact; California regulates both fabrics and application concerns
Retain the registration/certificate documentation for any California venue, school, or public-assembly project where the AHJ inspects for CA State Fire Marshal compliance specifically
Known gotchas
California's OSFM flame-retardant registration is a separate state-specific regime from NFPA 701; passing one does not automatically satisfy the other, and some CA jurisdictions require both
The approved list is published periodically (roughly annual); confirm you're checking the current edition rather than an outdated PDF found via search
