Which NFPA standard pertains to the maintenance of water-based fire protection systems?

NFPA 25
NFPA 10
NFPA 13
NFPA 99

The correct answer is: NFPA 25

NFPA 25 is specifically focused on the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems, which encompasses sprinklers, standpipes, and other similar systems. This standard establishes the necessary procedures to ensure that these critical components are functional and compliant with safety regulations. Regular maintenance as outlined by NFPA 25 helps to prevent failures during a fire event, ensuring the effectiveness of the fire protection systems when they are most needed. In contrast, NFPA 10 covers portable fire extinguishers, emphasizing their maintenance and testing rather than water-based systems. NFPA 13 addresses the installation of sprinkler systems and does not focus on their ongoing maintenance. NFPA 99 is relevant to healthcare facilities and outlines safety in the provision of medical gas and vacuum systems, which is distinct from fire protection system maintenance. Thus, NFPA 25 is the appropriate standard for maintaining water-based fire protection systems.
