Course Description: NFPA 25 is one of the misunderstood and misapplied standards in use today. This course examines the scope and purpose of NFPA 25. Owner, AHJ, and contractor responsibilities are reviewed for issues such as accessibility, freeze protection, reporting, and safety. The issue of contractor and owner liability is discussed in detail. The layout of the standard is reviewed and the scope of inspections, tests, and maintenance is reviewed for major systems including sprinklers, standpipes, and fire pumps.
