Illinois Administrative Code › Title 41 - FIRE PROTECTION › Part 109 - FIRE SPRINKLER CONTRACTOR AND INSPECTOR LICENSING RULES › Section 109.100 - Renewal of License

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
			 two-year licensing period for each license issued under this Part shall begin
			 on the date of original issue or renewal and end on the expiration date. The
			 Office shall notify the fire sprinkler contractor, by issuance of a notice, 90
			 calendar days prior to the expiration of a license.
b) Failure of a licensee to receive the
			 notice is not a valid reason for operating without a current license. Failure
			 to receive a renewal notice from the Office shall not constitute an excuse for
			 failure to pay the renewal fee or to renew a license.
c) An applicant or candidate for license
			 renewal shall complete an application form provided by the Office in accordance
			 with the licensing provisions set forth in either Section
			 109.40 or Section
			 109.45, as applicable.
d) In addition to the renewal fee, a
			 reinstatement fee shall be assessed for each license renewal application filed
			 after the expiration date of the license. The Office may waive the renewal fee
			 and any reinstatement fee for a fire sprinkler contractor license for a sole
			 proprietorship if the owner was on active duty in the military during the time
			 the renewal was due or for a fire sprinkler inspector license if the individual
			 was on active duty in the military during the time the renewal was
			 due.
e) Any person working on an
			 expired fire sprinkler contractor license shall be subject to discipline and
			 penalties under Section
			 109.120 or the Act for such
			 operation. If any individual is employed by a fire sprinkler contractor and
			 holds a fire sprinkler inspector license, and the fire sprinkler contractor's
			 license is expired, revoked, or suspended, then any fire sprinkler inspector
			 license associated with the fire sprinkler contractor license is subsequently
			 expired, revoked, or suspended. Any individual working on an expired fire
			 sprinkler inspector license shall be subject to the discipline and penalties. A
			 fire sprinkler contractor that permits an individual (employed by the fire
			 sprinkler contractor) to perform routine inspection or testing without a
			 current license shall also be subject to discipline and penalties under Section
			 109.120 or the Act.
f) Failure to renew an expired license within
			 one year after the expiration date of the license shall terminate the license.
			 A terminated license may not be renewed; however, a person or business whose
			 previous fire sprinkler contractor license has been terminated may apply for a
			 new license. A fire sprinkler contractor may apply for a new license for an
			 individual whose previous fire sprinkler inspector license has
			 terminated.

Where:
TS = ultimate tensile strength of shell plates, psi. When the
				  tensile strength of steel plate is not known, it shall be taken as 55,000 psi
				  for temperature not exceeding 650F.
t = minimum thickness of shell plate of weakest course,
				  inches.
E = efficiency of longitudinal joint, depending upon
				  construction. Use the following values:
For Fusion-Welded and Brazed Joints:
Single lap welded
				  ................................................ 40
Double lap

Single butt
				  welded............................................... 60
Double butt
				  welded.............................................. 75
Forge
				  welded........................................................ 70
Brazed
				  steel.......................................................... 80
For riveted joints - calculate riveted joint efficiency in
				  accordance with rules given in Section I, Part PR, of the 1971 Edition ASME
				  Code.
R = inside radius for weakest course of shell, inches,
				  provided the thickness does not exceed 10 percent of the radius. If the
				  thickness if over 10 percent of the radius, the outer radius shall be
				  used.
FS = factor of safety permitted shall be a minimum of
				  5.0.
2) For External
				Pressure. The maximum allowable working pressure for cylindrical nonstandard
				pressure vessels subjected to external or collapsing pressure shall be
				determined by the Rules in Par. UG-27 and UG-28 of Section VIII of the ASME
