IMPORTANT NOTICE
This list is not all inclusive. If you are responsible for either conducting inspection, testing or maintenance, or ensuring
that a contractor is completing the work as required, you are ultimately responsible to review the most current and
applicable referenced standard to ensure that all items are addressed. This is particularly applicable to Water-Based Fire
Protection Systems as referenced in NFPA 25 and Fire Alarm Systems as referenced in NFPA 72 as the inspection, testing
and maintenance chapters are very detailed. Please ensure that the work that is required is thoroughly documented, and
maintained as required by your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
