Is your fire alarm company compliant?

The State of California passed a law in 1999 making it mandatory that all persons making connections to fire alarm circuits that operate at over 100 VA be either:

                    A) Certified as a Fire/Life Safety Technician

                    B) Become an indentured apprentice   in a DAS  Approved Fire/Life Safety program

The WBFAA Fire/Life Safety Apprenticeship Program was the first Statewide Apprenticeship Program approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards in California

The WBFAA is currently developing an Online Fire/Life Safety Apprenticeship Program

Who is required to be certified?

           Anyone who performs work for a C-10 Electrical Contractor involving the installation, construction, or maintenance of fire alarm circuits exceeding 100 VA that are covered in Article 760 of the National Electrical Code.

I have a C-10 license. Do I have to be certified?

           If you’re the holder of a C-10 license and are working under that license, you don’t have to be certified. If you’re performing covered work and not working under your own license, for example, if you’re working under someone else’s C-10 license, you must be certified.
