My interest is general at this point. However, I am preparing a specification for a job which will require the preparation of fire pump installation documentation. I thought I'd go right to NFPA 20 to find what's needed, but it's not there as has been pointed out.
Seems each NFPA Standard should have a chapter which describes the minimum amount of information needed to adequately document compliance.

But if I were an AHJ, I'd throw the applicable subsections of NFPA 13, Chapter 23 at the issue, such as 23.1.3(11), 23.2.1. As for detailing the pump room, that falls squarely into of 23.1.3 and the provisions for hydraulic calc's and substantiating calc's.

Am I missing the obvious? Bill Brooks William N. Brooks, P.E.
