More about Inspection, Testing and Maintenance

Fire sprinkler systems require inspection, testing and maintenance in accordance with requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and your insurance company.  Hunter-Prell will perform a program of periodic testing, inspection and maintenance that is right for your company and NFPA code requirements.

Hunter-Prell inspections include testing the operation and conditions related to fire sprinkler systems in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 25 standards.  We will compile a complete report of inspection and explain any deficiencies, along with recommendations of corrective action.  Once inspections are completed, copies of the records will be sent to you and other agencies requiring reports.

Fire Protection Definitions

Inspection
Inspection is a visual examination of a water-based fire protection system (or portion of a water-based fire protection system) to verify that it is free of physical damage and appears to be in operating condition.

Testing
Testing is a procedure to determine the functional status of a system by conducting physical checks, i.e water flow tests and fire pump tests for water-based systems, sprinkler alarm tests, and trip tests of dry pipe, deluge, or pre-action valves.  These tests follow up on the original acceptance test at intervals specified in the appropriate chapter of the NFPA standard 25.
