Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 477 - State Fire Marshal › FIRE STANDPIPE SYSTEMS › Section 477.810 - Inspections and reports; hydrostatic tests; required tags; supervision of service required

Current through June 11, 2024
1. Fire standpipe
			 systems must be inspected annually by a person certified by the State Fire
			 Marshal for fire standpipe systems who works for a firm licensed by the State
			 Fire Marshal to service fire standpipe systems. The annual inspection must
			 conform to the requirements of N.F.P.A. 25, 2017 edition.
2. A copy of the annual inspection report
			 must be maintained on-site or electronically and sent to the owner.
3. If an inspection indicates that additional
			 work is required on a fire standpipe system in order to have the system conform
			 to code requirements, the licensed firm must notify the owner and the authority
			 having jurisdiction of the impairment in writing not later than the next
			 business day after the day of the inspection. A tag must be properly signed,
			 punched and attached. The word "impairment" must be written across the bottom
			 of the tag in black letters that are bold.
4. If an inspection discovers a deficiency in
			 the fire standpipe system, the licensed firm must notify the owner of the
			 deficiency in writing. Upon receiving a notice of deficiency, the owner shall
			 correct the deficiency within 30 calendar days of such receipt. If the owner
			 fails to correct the deficiency within 30 calendar days after receiving notice
			 of the deficiency, the licensed firm must notify the owner and the authority
			 having jurisdiction in writing not later than the next business day after the
			 day the person conducting the inspection determines that the deficiency was not
			 corrected as required.
5. Before
			 hydrostatic tests may be conducted on a fire standpipe system, the installer of
			 the fire standpipe system must notify the authority having jurisdiction in such
			 a manner as to provide the authority having jurisdiction with sufficient time
			 to schedule an appointment so that the authority having jurisdiction can be
			 present when the hydrostatic tests are conducted on the fire standpipe system.
			 Tests must be certified by the licensee as meeting code requirements and a copy
			 of that certification must be maintained on-site. A copy of a report describing
			 any deficiencies in the systems found during the testing must be sent to the
			 authority having jurisdiction.
6.
			 The installer of a fire standpipe system shall place a metal tag on the control
			 valve for the system which states the name of the installing company and the
			 date of the installation.
7. Any
			 work done on the system must be done under the supervision of a person who has
			 a certificate of registration for that work. At the conclusion of the service,
			 test, inspection or installation, the person holding a certificate of
			 registration shall sign and place an approved tag on the system control riser.
			 The tag must be punched in an approved manner to indicate the type of service
			 performed on the system and the date it was performed.
