Fire alarm testing

[newinspector1]

This question if for anyone familiar with fire alarms. According to NFPA 72 a record of completion must be submitted. I have recieved the NFPA 72 testing and inspection sheet but not the ROC, the fire alarm company says they are not familiar with a ROC. I say that the NFPA requires it and the specs call for it also. Are you guys familiar with this? Thanks

I found this.

It is dated 2002 so I would say it has been revised since then.

A sample is located in each version of NFPA 72.

This link should take you to a list where you can get a record of completion for most recent versions of NFPA 72. They should fill out the ROC for every new installation per NFPA 72 and use the correct year ROC for whatever year is being enforced in their area.

If they were an experienced fire alarm company, they would have heard of the record of completion.

I hadnt heard of someone not know about it, until now. If they are truely competent they would have used one before. Make sure you were talking to their new guy, not that it excuses it.

these can be found included with the panel's installation instruction manual.

well, newinspector1, here is a line you can use. I heard this spoken to a GC once (I was sub to the EC on the job). "Here is your punch list. You'll probably be able to read it in one sitting."

See here for MS Word versions of both documents for the 2010 edition, and here for the 2007 MS Word documents. The 2002 and 1999 documents are available only as PDF's. Nothing is at the NFPA website for any earlier editions.

With the Word documents available, there's precious little excuse for anyone not to fill out everything.

Agreed. If they claim to have done proper FA work in the past is it really possible for them not to know?
