Nev. Admin. Code § 477.810 - Inspections and reports; hydrostatic tests; required tags; supervision of service required
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.
