Inspection and Testing
Per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 25 and NFPA 72, building owners are responsible for having inspections performed one year after installation. Failure to comply may result in a voided insurance policy, lawsuits, and financial loss.
Compliant with all visual and functional inspection codes (NFPA 10, NFPA 17, NFPA 17A, NFPA 25, NFPA 70, NFPA 72, NFPA 96, NFPA 101), Northstar Fire Protection of Texas (Northstar) provides a comprehensive inspection and testing process as an asset to fire protection services—focusing on:
