HAR §12-45.4-43. Fire protection systems records

Section 13.1.6 is amended to read as follows: 13.1.6 Detailed records documenting all systems and equipment inspections, testing, and maintenance shall be kept by the property owner and shall be made available upon request for review by the AHJ. [Eff ] (Auth: HRS §132-3) (Imp: HRS §132-3) This amendment was in previous state fire codes. It only adds the word “inspections” to the records required to be kept by the owner and the title was changed to correspond with the chapter title in the fire code. §12-45.4-44 Fire protection systems authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) reports. Section 13.1.6.1 is added to read as follows: 13.1.6.1 A copy of a system’s unsatisfactory inspection and maintenance test report shall be submitted to the AHJ by the testing company within five (5) working days after the completion of the test. [Eff ] (Auth: HRS §132-3) (Imp: HRS §132-3) This was in previous state fire codes. This authorizes the appropriate county agency i.e. fire hydrants (Board of Water Supply), fire sprinklers and standpipes installation (Building Department), to meet its respective requirements. (This sentence was deleted because BWS does its own maintenance testing so an unsat report would be kept internally). The fire department does acceptance testing for fire alarm systems and commercial cooking fire extinguishing systems. This specifies that installation and location must be approved by the AHJ on these specific items. Amendment to section 13.1.5 was in in the previous state fire code. It coincides and reinforces the amendment to section 13.1.2. Section heading was amended to mirror the 2018 edition. Made revision to 13.1.5 to ITM to be consistent in the order.)
