NFSA Technical Tuesday: The New NFPA 25

The 2011 edition of NFPA 25 includes some changes intended to enhance enforcement of the standard and others aimed at making system maintenance more economical. New recognition that not all deficiencies are equal will permit AHJs to implement a multi-colored tagging system following system inspections. The new standard continues the trend of separating owner responsibilities from those of the inspecting party, and the criteria for the 5-year internal inspections have been reworked.
