Sounds like the contract wording may play a role in the scenario. Thanks for the insight. Missed that annex section.

Based on all the references to "designated representative" my impression is the term is used for "property management" types, the ITM contractor is addressed seperately, while it is possible for an ITM contractor to also be part of a property management company, if your contract solely covers ITM then cataloging and addressing changes to the hazard is not specifically your responsibility as outlined in: A.4.1.6 See Annex F for an example of a hazard evaluation form. A hazard evaluation is not part of a system inspection. The responsibility for asking for a hazard evaluation is on the owner or designated representative based on changes to the occupancy or construction, not a general ITM contractor.

(CSFD) Sent: Tue 11/8/2011 10:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: NFPA 25 Questions For the sprinkler gurus out there. You're company is hired by a building owner to perform annual sprinkler ITM for their building. 1- Does this mean you are now the "Designated Representative" as written in 4.1.1.4 of NFPA 25 (11ed)? 2- If so, then if during your inspection you find a deficiency in the system design (regardless if the system was installed per 13 or not), do you then have to meet 4.1.6? of NFPA 25 (11ed)? Insight and thoughts appreciated.
