SUBJECT:  Sprinkler Test, Maintenance and Repair Reports

OBJECTIVE:  To set a policy for Collier County that all NFPA 25 inspection reports are to be forwarded to the local Authority Having Jurisdiction

NFPA 25 states that records of inspections, tests, and maintenance of systems shall be made available to the AHJ upon request. This policy and procedure is designed to require all reports to be sent to the local AHJ.

POLICY/PROCEDURE:

The fire districts of Collier County require that all reports for inspections, tests, and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems be turned in to the fire prevention office having jurisdiction within 10 working days from the date of the site visit whether the inspection, test or maintenance procedures are completed or not.
