Are You in Compliance?

 

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code states that all fire and smoke dampers must be inspected every four years. In addition, Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) reminds all property owners whose buildings are equipped with fire, smoke, and combination fire/smoke dampers to comply with NFPA Code. the exception to the four-year rule are hospitals, which must have all of their Fire and Smoke Dampers inspected no less frequent than every six years.
