Manufacturer certification matters on Sepulveda jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Los Angeles County is no different.
In practice, a maintenance record on a Sepulveda roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Put simply, two visits a year keeps a Sepulveda roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Los Angeles County is no different. Resealing penetrations on a Sepulveda roof covering every few years is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building.
