Question: A fire alarm system is integrated with a complex smoke control system and a pre-action sprinkler system. What must an RFPT-AL do to remain within their scope?

Answer options:

  • Inspect the entire suppression system yourself.
  • Sign off on the suppression system flow test. ✅ Test the interface only and ensure a qualified person (RFPT-SS) inspects the suppression system.
  • Ignore the suppression system as it is not part of the fire alarm.
