Who determines the requirements for fire alarm integration inspections?

• A. The building owner
• B. Local jurisdiction
• C. The elevator manufacturer
• D. The fire marshal only

Answer: (B)

The local jurisdiction—the authority having jurisdiction over the building—determines the requirements for fire alarm integration inspections. They adopt and enforce the applicable codes (such as NFPA 72 for fire alarm systems and related elevator-fire integration requirements) and specify what tests, documentation, and approvals are needed during plan review and field inspections. The elevator manufacturer may provide compatibility and installation guidelines, but they do not set the legal inspection requirements. The fire marshal is typically part of the enforcing office within the local jurisdiction, but the overall requirements come from the jurisdiction as a whole. The building owner must comply with those requirements and arrange inspections, not determine them.
