As per 28 TAC §34.716. Installation, Maintenance, and Service:
“..…Service, maintenance, or testing, when conducted by someone other than an owner, must be conducted by a registered firm and in compliance with the appropriate adopted standards. After January 1, 2009, the inspection, test and maintenance service of a fire protection sprinkler system, except a one- and two-family dwelling or an underground fire main, must be performed by an individual holding a current RME-General Inspector or RME-General license. A visual inspection not accompanied by service, maintenance, testing, or certification does not require a certificate of registration. …..”
So, as of 1/1/09, the blue ITM tags on sprinkler systems shall also indicate the RME’s license number as an RME-G or RME-GI, name and signature.
