Summary of NFPA
Note 1: The Inspection, Test and Maintenance requirements of fire pump systems can vary by type and
manufacturer. The manufacturers recommended maintenance should be utilized to develop
the maintenance program for fire pump systems. If the manufacturers maintenance
information is not available, an alternative maintenance program can be established.
Alternative maintenance requirements can be found in NFPA 25, Table 8.1.2.

While the requirements of NFPA 25 for the inspection, test and maintenance of foam deluge and foam sprinkler
systems do not specifically apply to Low Expansion Foam Systems, these systems often utilize the same types of
proportioning and control equipment. This being the case, serious consideration should be given to incorporating the
requirements of NFPA 25 into any maintenance program for Low Expansion Foam Systems.
