Fire sprinkler inspection requirements

Most buildings are tracking more than one sprinkler date. The shop writes the one that goes on the ledger.

Put the sprinkler date on the free ledger. The shop sets the interval.

Quarterly, annual, and five-year

NFPA 25 is the usual reference for sprinkler inspection, testing, and maintenance. You set the rebook date.

  • Quarterly. A shorter contractor walk-through many contracts schedule through the year. Confirm the months on the contract. This page does not assign that interval.
  • Annual. The inspection, testing, and maintenance visit the ledger is built to hold. Suggested start: 12 months, then the shop writes the date.
  • Five-year. An internal inspection many sprinkler contracts describe on a five-year cycle. Ask the contractor which date is on the agreement. Do not copy a year from this page.

What to have on file

  • The last sprinkler inspection report.
  • The deficiency or repair list, if the building has one.
  • A key to the valve room and, if there is one, the pump room.
  • NFPA 25 covers fire pump inspection and the annual flow test many shops schedule. You set the rebook date.
  • A person who can agree the next test date.
  • Any special note the last report already recorded, such as antifreeze. Do not add a note this page did not take from that report.

To find a contractor, use the open slots on the homepage. No sprinkler company is listed here.

Questions

Is 12 months the code interval?

No. That number is only the ledger's suggested start. NFPA 25 is the usual reference for sprinkler inspection, testing, and maintenance. You set the rebook date.

Where does the fire pump fit?

NFPA 25 covers fire pump inspection and the annual flow test many shops schedule. You set the rebook date. It is its own row, not a line on the sprinkler tag.

What if the report lists a deficiency?

Keep it with the last report. The ledger's job is the next due date, so the rebook call does not depend on someone remembering the visit.
