An effective inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) program is essential for these systems to function properly. For this reason the fire code requires periodic ITM by an approved special inspection agency. Effective special inspection will help to identify failures in systems so that corrective maintenance can be performed. This will help to ensure to a reasonable degree that the system is capable of functioning when required.
