The data is compared to past inspections and statistical analysis using an online database. Unique bar-code registration ensures comprehensive inspections by monitoring inspectors’ progress in real time during the inspection, preventing missed items, and facilitating fast action on repairs.

Is your fire alarm company compliant?
Posted on June 23rd, 2009 No commentsCALIFORNIA LAW
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
CALIFORNIA LAW
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.
