Overview

Requires inspections of fire protection systems to be performed by a person certified by an entity accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

History

ANSI is a private, nonprofit organization comprised of government agencies, organizations, companies, academic and international bodies and individuals. ANSI promotes and controls voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems and personnel. This includes fire protection systems and inspections. NFPA 25-2020 is the baseline for inspection, testing and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. Compliance helps maximize system integrity to avoid failure and ensure fast, effective response in a fire emergency (ANSI).
