28 Tex. Admin. Code § 34.624 - Red Labels
(a) If, after any
service, inspection or test, a system or any part thereof is inoperable, has a
fault condition, or is impaired from normal operation, excluding the area(s) of
a building under construction, a completed red label must be attached to the
outside of the control panel cover or, if the system has no panel, in a
permanent location, to indicate that corrective action is necessary.
(b) The signature of the licensee on a red
label certifies that the conditions listed on the label have caused the system
to be inoperable, have a fault condition, or be impaired from normal
operation.
(c) If the system is
inoperable, immediately after attaching a red label the licensee or the
registered firm must orally notify the property owner, occupant or their
representative, and the local AHJ, where available, of all impairments and
provide a written notification, emailed, faxed or hand delivered within the
next business day of the attachment of the red label. If the system has a fault
condition or is impaired from normal operation, after attaching a red label,
the licensee or the registered firm must notify the property owner, occupant or
their representative, and the local AHJ in writing indicating the condition(s).
The written notification must be postmarked, emailed, faxed or hand delivered
within three business days of the attachment of the red label.
(d) Red labels must remain in place until the
conditions are corrected and a service label is attached certifying that the
corrections were made. The red label may be removed by a licensed employee or
agent of a registered firm, an employee of the State Fire Marshal's Office, or
an authorized representative of a governmental agency with appropriate
regulatory authority. The local AHJ must be notified when corrections are made
and a red label is removed or revised. The notification must be postmarked,
emailed, faxed, or hand delivered within five business days of the removal of
the red label.
