Fire Sprinkler Inspection
1. Visual Inspection: The inspector examines the overall condition of the sprinkler system, including pipes,
sprinkler heads, valves, control devices, and signage, looking for any signs of damage, corrosion, or obstruction.
2. Water Supply Inspection: The inspector checks the adequacy and availability of the water supply by verifying the
connection to the main water source, ensuring the presence of required water pressure and flow rates.
3. Sprinkler Head Inspection: Each sprinkler head is inspected to ensure it is unobstructed, free from damage or
paint, and properly oriented to cover the designated area effectively.
4. Valve Inspection: The inspector examines control valves, check valves, and other types of valves in the system,
ensuring they are in the correct position, accessible, and functioning correctly.
5. Alarm and Supervisory Systems: Testing alarm devices, such as water flow switches and pressure switches, to
ensure they activate as intended and communicate the necessary signals.
6. System Testing: Conducting functional tests by simulating water flow or conducting a water flow test to confirm
proper activation and operation of the sprinkler heads.
7. Documentation: Recording all findings and observations during the inspection process, including any
deficiencies or areas that require attention. This documentation serves as a record of compliance and identifies
any necessary repairs or maintenance.
8. Compliance Assessment: Comparing the observed conditions against relevant codes, standards, and regulations
to determine compliance and identify any corrective actions required.
9. Report and Recommendations: Preparing a comprehensive inspection report that includes the inspection
findings, recommendations for repairs or improvements, and any non-compliance issues that need to be
addressed.
