Which standard governs the evaluation of modifications to sprinkler systems?

• A. NFPA 13
• B. NFPA 70
• C. NFPA 25
• D. NFPA 101

Answer: (C)

Evaluating modifications to a sprinkler system is handled through the ongoing inspection, testing, and maintenance process. NFPA 25 sets the standards for how water-based fire protection systems are inspected, tested, and maintained, including what to verify when changes are made. After a modification, you need to recheck the system to confirm it still functions correctly, meets current requirements, and is properly documented. This ensures reliability and code compliance for the altered system. NFPA 13 covers how sprinkler systems are originally designed and installed, not how they are evaluated after changes. NFPA 70 is the electrical code and not specific to sprinkler system modifications, and NFPA 101 focuses on life safety requirements for buildings rather than the technical verification of alterations.
