Fire Code References• All building and fire codes used in the US list
when and where sprinklers and alarms arerequired
• Codes also require interconnection of thesesystems

Fire Code References• Fire and Building Codes are adopted by
administrative laws(Municipal Code of Chicago, Chicago City Council)
• Fire and Building Codes reference the ITMstandards
• Inspection, Testing, & Maintenance standards(NFPA 25 & 72) list ITM tasks and frequencies

Purpose of ITM• Purpose is similar between NFPA 25 & 72
• Helps ensure reliability
• Not designed to address every possibleproblem

Purpose of NFPA 25
“…ensure a reasonabledegree of protection forlife and property from firethrough minimuminspection, testing, andmaintenance…”

Purpose of ITM - NFPA 72®-2013• 14.2.1.3* The purpose for periodic inspections
is to assure that obvious damages or changesthat might affect the system operability arevisually identified.
• 14.2.1.4* The purpose for periodic testing isto statistically assure operational reliability.

Scope• The purpose of ITM may be similar, the scope
of the documents is not
• NFPA 25 focus in on wear and tear
• NFPA 72 covers application, installation,location, performance, as well as ITM

Scope Differences• NFPA 72 Table 14.3.1 – Visual inspection of all
equipment:– Ensure there are no changes that affect equipment
performance. Inspect for building modifications,occupancy changes, changes in environmentalconditions, device location, physical obstructions,device orientation, physical damage, and degreeof cleanliness.
