Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance of Fire Alarm Signaling Systems

as Required by Regulation 703, Chapter 1 and the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, 2007 Edition

This brief summary of periodic tests, inspections, and maintenance is not all inclusive, and, to assist in the performance of these services, the user is advised to purchase the applicable documents from NFPA (1-800-344-3555). These periodic services must be performed by a company licensed by the Office of State Fire Marshal, Licensing Division, (302) 739-4394. A log book must be maintained by the licensed company for each system. The log book must include the date the service was performed, the type of service performed, and the person performing the service. An asterisk (*) denotes servicing which may be performed by an owner, but must be performed at least annually (once a year) by a licensed company. A licensed company must forward a Certificate of Inspection to the Office of State Fire Marshal within 30 days of the annual inspection.
