NFPA 25 Inspection and Testing

What is NFPA 25?
NFPA 25 sets the standards for inspecting, testing, and maintaining water-based fire protection systems, including sprinklers and standpipes. It ensures a reasonable level of protection for life and property by defining minimum requirements for these systems, which vary based on building needs.
Is your building's fire protection system up to code?
All buildings with fire sprinklers or standpipe systems must be inspected and tested according to NFPA 25, with few exceptions, to comply with FDNY/Fire Marshal regulations and insurance requirements.
What is the purpose?
The purpose of inspections and testing is to identify potential defects or code violations so they can be proactively addressed. Failing to meet these requirements can result in fines, violations, policy cancellations, or even building closure.

We recently had a sprinkler leak on a Sunday and Capitol's team responded quickly to address. They kept our staff and tenants informed through the process, and promptly returned the system to service. Everyone I've talked to at Capitol has gone out of their way to be helpful during our contract, and we can tell customer service is an important part of their company culture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I conduct the inspections myself?
Inspections and testing must be performed by qualified professionals holding FDNY-issued Certificates of Fitness and employed by a licensed MFSPC (Master Fire Suppression Piping Contractor), such as Capitol Fire Sprinkler. While requirements may vary in other jurisdictions, it is a liability for an unqualified individual to perform these inspections.
What are the requirements for inspections and testing of a fire pump?
There are two different types of tests required for a fire pump:
  • Monthly fire pump churn test - The pump must be run for 10 minutes every month to ensure proper operation of the fire pump
  • Annual Full Flow fire pump performance test - Pressure readings are taken as the fire pump is run through its various stages. Results are recorded and plotted on a graph to ensure the pump is operating as intended.
I have an inspection contract with you- why did i receive a violation?
There is an additional test, known as the 5-year test, that must be conducted in the presence of the FDNY. The timing of this test cannot be predicted, which may result in a notice from the FDNY appearing as a violation.
