Who can request a hard copy record of inspections, testing, and maintenance?

• A. The building owner
• B. The installer
• C. The monitoring company
• D. The authority having jurisdiction

Answer: (D)

Records of inspections, testing, and maintenance are official documentation used to prove the system stays in compliance and operates correctly. The authority having jurisdiction is the entity with the legal power to request hard copies of these records to verify compliance, perform reviews, and enforce code requirements. They may ask for the records from the building owner, the installer, or the monitoring company as part of inspections or investigations. While the owner, installer, or monitoring company can provide copies, the AHJ is the one authorized to demand and review these records in an enforcement context.
