Levels of Readiness - Advocating for a calor-coded tagging scheme for system inspections

摘要

Pending changes for the 2011 edition of NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, lend themselves to a four-color tagging scheme for identifying the condition of a water-based system following a system inspection. The new scheme is made possible by changes that recognize "critical deficiencies" and "non-critical deficiencies" alongside traditional "impairments" as conditions that might prevent a system from being considered in a full and proper state of readiness.
