I have heard that when a facility/hospital gets its final fire alarm sign off that the facility doesn't have to perform an annual fire test for one year. Is this correct? Does any one know where in NFPA I can find this?
 
You'll need to look in the applicable edition of NFPA 72 for your local jurisdiction. Having said that the frequency for testing hasn't changed much over the years.

NFPA 72, 2007 edition, 10.4.1.2 "Reacceptance Testing" addresses testing after a modification has been made to the system. Section 10.4.4 "Testing Frequency" addresses regular testing. Table 10.4.4 give you the test frequency.

Dan
