QUICK FREQUENCY GUIDE
Which systems are in your facility?
Tap each system for a few common inspection and testing intervals.
Fire sprinkler systems
Common examples: control-valve checks range from weekly to monthly or quarterly depending on supervision; some gauges and alarms are checked monthly, quarterly, or semiannually; annual system checks and five-year internal assessments apply to specific components.
The exact schedule depends on wet/dry/preaction design, water-supply components, and supervision.
NFPA 25 frequency overview ↗Fire hydrants & private fire mains
Typically annual: inspect and operate private hydrants. Some private fire-main components also require five-year internal assessments; flow-test schedules depend on the purpose, local requirements, and system design.
NFPA 25 reference ↗Backflow preventers
Typically annually: test fire-protection backflow preventers, with a qualified tester, in line with local water-authority rules and the device’s listing.
Requirements and reporting schedules vary by jurisdiction and assembly type; verify the schedule with your local water provider or AHJ.
Fire alarm systems
Often: semiannual visual inspections and annual functional tests for many devices. Some initiating, notification, and control components have different intervals under NFPA 72.
Device type and the applicable NFPA 72 table determine the schedule.
NFPA 72 reference ↗Emergency lights & exit signs
Common test schedule: monthly functional test for at least 30 seconds and an annual test for 90 minutes for emergency lighting equipment, subject to the adopted Life Safety Code and system type.
NFPA 101 reference ↗Fire extinguishers
Monthly: visual inspection. Annually: maintenance by a qualified provider. Internal maintenance and hydrostatic testing are scheduled at longer intervals based on extinguisher type.
NFPA 10 guidance ↗Fire suppression systems
Commercial kitchen hood systems: inspection and maintenance at least every six months. Clean-agent, foam, and other suppression systems use their own standards and component-specific schedules.
NFPA 17A reference ↗Fire pumps
Weekly or monthly: no-flow (churn) tests, depending on pump type and installation. Annually: flow testing. Frequency and qualified-person requirements vary by configuration.
NFPA fire pump overview ↗Educational overview only, not a compliance determination or complete checklist. Intervals vary by equipment, adopted code edition, manufacturer instructions, occupancy, and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Some routine checks are assigned to facility staff; testing and maintenance may require qualified service providers. Safeway can help review your system and records.
