Water-based fire sprinkler protection systems comprise the bulk of commercial and residential installations. Properly inspecting, testing, and maintaining these complex systems requires close attention to mechanical details and various important provisions.
The new 2014 NFPA 25: Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems offers comprehensive guidance on maintaining suppression systems for optimum performance. Effective use of NFPA 25 reduces risk of death by 80% and average property loss by nearly 70%. In fact, 2013 NFPA 13 requires that installers leave a copy of NFPA 25 with property owners so that inspectors, building owners, and facility managers can maximize protection.
Inspection, testing, and maintenance regimes covered by NFPA 25 include evaluation techniques such as:
- Fire sprinkler inspections
- Valve status tests
- Internal piping assessments
- Fire pump operating tests
- Fire pump flow tests
- Forward-flow tests for back-flow preventers
- Risk assessment and performance-based testing programs
- Preparing preplanned impairment reports, hydrant flushing, and testing
Learn about the latest provisions in the new 2014 NFPA 25:
- Updated fire pump operating test-frequency rules
- New fuel-supply testing procedures for diesel-driven fire pumps
- Modified definition of “sprinkler system” for consistency with NFPA 13
- Clarification about inspecting the insides of sprinkler pipes
- An expanded scope that includes water-mist systems
- The addition of valve status testing to ensure water is reaching the sprinkler system
Ongoing water-based fire protection system maintenance is far less costly than having to replace entire systems. And ensuring function and performance of sprinkler systems is especially important for protection of life and property.

Adopted in many states, NFPA 25 helps users inspect, test, and maintain water-based fire sprinkler protection systems. The 2017 edition includes revised and updated ITM tables and major changes that improve usability for owners and service providers.
Comprising the bulk of commercial and residential installations, fire sprinkler systems are highly effective against fire. However, to function correctly, these complex systems require close attention to mechanical issues and other important details. The 2017 edition of NFPA 25: Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems is the new industry benchmark, with comprehensive requirements for maintaining suppression systems for peak performance.
This edition helps building owners, facility managers, inspectors, and service providers work together to maximize protection.
NFPA 25 is so important to sprinkler system effectiveness, NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems requires that installers leave a copy of NFPA 25 with property owners. ITM regimes covered by NFPA 25 include evaluation techniques such as fire sprinkler inspections, valve status tests, internal piping assessments, fire pump operating tests, fire pump flow tests, forward-flow tests for back-flow preventers, risk assessment and performance-based testing programs, preparing preplanned impairment reports, hydrant flushing, and testing.
Revised and updated ITM tables throughout are just some of the changes:
- New residential sprinkler replacement requirements address sprinklers that are no longer available.
- New requirements clarify steps to take if inspections reveal missing escutcheons, or if listed escutcheons are no longer available.
- Added criteria cover automated inspections and testing.
- Significant changes in Chapter 13 address waterflow alarm devices, preaction and deluge valves, air compressors, and general pressure gauge criteria.
- Fire pump terms are aligned with NFPA 20: Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection.
- New Annexes address connectivity and data collection, and color-coded tagging programs.
System maintenance saves lives and property–and is far less costly than system replacement.
To ensure reliability and extend your system’s service life, comply with the latest edition of NFPA 25.

The 2011 NFPA 25 will raise confidence in every fire protection plan.
Sprinkler systems can reduce the average property loss by 71% in the event of a fire. However, improper maintenance can result in less sprinkler effectiveness or even failure. Changes in NFPA 25: Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems will help maintenance professionals, inspectors, and building owners keep systems ready to respond.
Revised Chapter One clarifies NFPA 25’s scope and purpose.
NFPA 25 is so essential to proper sprinkler care, it’s adopted by jurisdictions nationwide, and NFPA 13 requires installers leave a copy of NFPA 25 with property owners. Revised Chapter One clarifies the role NFPA 25 plays in a fire protection plan. It’s the only source for the latest rules on fire sprinkler systems including foam-water and fixed water spray systems, standpipe and hose systems, fire pumps, fire service piping and appurtenances, and water storage tanks.
Major revisions:
- New terms define “critical deficiencies” and “noncritical deficiencies,” so maintainers and owners can determine corrective actions and prioritize repairs.
- Updated testing frequencies are based on the growing database of inspection, testing, and maintenance records. Maximize time and efficiency without compromising reliability.
- Other revisions clarify the roles and responsibilities of the building owner and the designated owner’s representatives. This helps avoid critical oversights in sprinkler care.
- Use all-new Annex E classifies sprinkler repairs. Real-world examples of sprinkler repairs and their classifications are based on the new terms for critical and noncritical deficiencies.
- The Hazard Evaluation Form in Annex F will help you identify how changes in building occupancy, use or process, or materials used or stored could impact the adequacy of the fire protection systems.
