Title 19 & NFPA 25: It was reported that April 1, 2007 is the tentative start date for the new Title 19 / NFPA 25 inspection procedure. The new label and inspection forms are completed and drafts are available for review on the State Fire Marshal’s website. A copy of the completed forms will be required to be sent to the local AHJ upon system certification. As in the past, deficiencies within the system will need to be corrected before the sticker can be applied.

NFPA 13: It was reported that on April 12, 2007 the NFPA 13 2002 edition will become the standard for fire sprinkler system installation in California.

Respectfully submitted,

Jim Bollier, Co-chair
