Standpipe systems are installed in buildings to provide firefighters with a reliable source of water during emergencies.
Certificate holders are responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of standpipe systems to ensure they function properly in an emergency.
If a standpipe system is out of service, it must be reported immediately, and corrective actions must be taken to ensure the system is restored to working order as soon as possible.
A visual inspection of the standpipe system should be conducted monthly to ensure all components are in good condition and functioning properly.
An abnormal pressure reading could indicate a problem with the system, so it should be reported and inspected by a professional.
