It takes time and planning to test a fire pump system properly. This includes confirming the accuracy of all measuring devices. Although the industry standard for test devices is at least annually, the NFPA does not set any standards for calibration. Additionally, it should be possible to find the essential measuring tools, such as smooth-bore nozzles, hoses, brackets, and standard hand tools. There might be a requirement for one or more helpers. A qualified individual who is capable of conducting basic testing on powered electrical systems should also be available.
