Building Owners Responsibility
As you know, testing and inspection of fire protection systems and devices is the responsibility of the building owner. NFPA 25 1998 Edition section 1-4.2 states “the responsibility for properly maintaining a water-based fire protection system shall be that of the owner(s) of the property. By means of periodic inspections, tests, and maintenance, the equipment shall be shown to be in good operating condition, or any defects or impairments shall be revealed. Inspection, testing, and maintenance shall be implemented in accordance with procedures meeting or exceeding those established in this document [NFPA 25] and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. These tasks shall be performed by personnel who have developed competence through training and experience.”
Any sprinkler system deficiency or performance related issue shall be repaired by the building owner. NFPA 25 1998 Edition section1-4.4 states that “the owner or occupant promptly shall correct or repair deficiencies, damaged parts, or impairments found while performing the inspection, test, and maintenance requirements of this standard. Corrections and repairs shall be
performed by qualified maintenance personnel or a qualified contractor.”
