  6. Which of the following best describes a 'submittal' in the context of a fire alarm installation project?

    Answer: Documentation submitted to the AHJ or engineer for approval before installation begins

    A submittal is pre-installation documentation, such as shop drawings and product data sheets, submitted for review and approval.

  7. What information does an 'as-built' drawing provide that the original design drawings do not?

    Answer: The system as it was actually installed, reflecting any field changes

    As-built drawings are updated after installation to show the exact locations and configurations of all installed components.
