FLS-017 - Ver 1.0 (June 23)
While many FLS testing and inspection activities are performed at least once per year, there are several tasks that need to be performed less frequently. Do not allow these activities to surprise your client with an unbudgeted expense. Work with your fire protection system maintenance provider to help you budget for these periodic costs.
