N.J. Admin. Code § 5:71-4.1 - Scope; intent

(a) This subchapter shall control all matters relating to qualifications for the certification of all fire officials and inspectors engaged in or to be engaged in the administration and enforcement of the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code, including procedures for application, issuance, denial and revocation of certifications; approval of training and/or educational programs offered to meet the requirements for certification of fire officials, application fees for a certification, and enforcement of penalties for violations of this subchapter.

(b) Unless otherwise specifically provided, all references to article or section numbers, or to provisions not specifically identified by number, shall be construed to refer to such article, section or provision of this subchapter.

(c) The New Jersey Uniform Fire Code has been adopted to ensure public safety and welfare. In order for the Code to be enforced adequately and effectively, fire officials will need to have sufficient knowledge and competence to administer and interpret the Code's standards. This can best be achieved through the creation of an education and training program and the development of certification requirements.

1. It is the purpose of this subchapter to establish standards and procedures for the certification of fire officials, including but not limited to fire officials and inspectors, and to require all persons performing duties with respect to the inspection for compliance with the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code in any political subdivision within this State, to be certified as provided in this subchapter.
