When Should Fire Sprinklers be Inspected?
Monday
However, nothing lasts forever. It's important to have regular inspections to make sure they operate and perform their job. When should building owners be concerned about the need to have their sprinkler systems inspected?
The NFSA Recommendations:
To ensure high quality performance, the National Fire Sprinkler Association recommends that:
- Fast response sprinklers (residential, quick response and ESFR) be tested after 20 years
- All types of sprinklers be tested after 30 years of service
- All sprinklers subsequently be re-tested at 10-year intervals, and
- All sprinklers be replaced after 50 years of service
