New sprinkler ITM rules pave the way for improved reliability. Apply 2014 NFPA 25 to conduct proper sprinkler care and ensure water-based fire protection is not compromised. Water-based fire sprinkler protection systems are extremely effective against fire—reducing the risk of death by 80% and average property loss by nearly 70%. However, for optimum performance today's complex systems must be properly maintained using the provisions in NFPA 25: Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems. In fact, 2013 NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems requires installers to leave a copy of NFPA 25 with property owners. Test, inspect, and maintain systems using the new industry standard. The 2014 NFPA 25 has provisions for fire sprinkler inspections, valve status tests, internal piping assessments, fire pump operating tests, fire pump flow tests, and all the ITM regimes you need to evaluate systems. Major changes in the 2014 edition include: n Updated fire pump operating test-frequency rules n New fuel-supply testing procedures for diesel-driven fire pumps n Modified definition of "sprinkler system" for consistency with NFPA 13 n Clarification about inspecting the insides of sprinkler pipes n The addition of valve-status testing to ensure that water is reaching the sprinkler system n An expanded scope that includes water-mist systems Be confident sprinklers are ready for action. Conduct efficient safety checks and troubleshoot problems so systems will function when needed. Ongoing maintenance is vital for protecting people and property, and NFPA 25 compliance is the best way to preserve system integrity and enhance service life. To meet the highest national standard for water-based fire protection ITM, stay up-to-date and compliant with the new 2014 edition.
