A. Every firm must obtain from the State Fire Marshal a certification of registration with the appropriate endorsements as provided for by R.S.40:1664.1 et seq., before engaging in the activity of certifying, inspecting, installing, maintaining or servicing portable fire extinguishers or fire hoses or certifying, inspecting, installing, integrating, maintaining or servicing fixed fire suppression systems or fire detection and alarm systems and/or engaging in hydrostatic testing of DOT fire protection cylinders.
1.
Each firm, as defined by
R.S.40:1664.3 et seq., shall have
at least one licensed technician per endorsement of certification to perform
the act or acts authorized by its certificate.
2. Firms as defined by
R.S.40:1664.3 et seq., and their
owners shall be responsible for the acts of their agents and employees for the
purpose of these rules including the initiation of administrative action by the
state fire marshal.
B. The following shall apply to certificates of registration.
1. Posting. Each certificate shall be posted
conspicuously at each firm and/or branch office premises. All firms without a
physical location in this state shall be required to purchase a duplicate
certificate to post in each vehicle which will come into this state to do
work.
2. Changes of Ownership. The
change of a firm's majority ownership invalidates the current certificate. To
assure continuance of the firm, an application for a new certificate shall be
submitted to the State Fire Marshal within 10 days after such change in
ownership.
3. Change of Corporate
Officers. Any change of corporate officers must be reported in writing to the
State Fire Marshal within 10 days of the change, and does not require a revised
certificate.
4. Duplicates. A
duplicate certificate must be obtained from the State Fire Marshal to replace a
lost or destroyed certificate. The certificate holder must submit written
notification of the loss or destruction within 10 days, accompanied by the
required fee specified in these rules.
5. Revisions/Changes. The change of a firm's
name, location, or mailing address or operating status requires a revision of
the certificate of registration. Certificates of registration requiring changes
must be surrendered to the State Fire Marshal within 10 days after the change
requiring the revision. The certificate of registration holder must submit
written notification of the change with the surrendered certificate of
registration, accompanied by the required fee specified by
R.S.
40:1664.1 et seq.
6. Non-Transferability. A certificate of
registration is not transferable from one firm to another.
7. Validity. A certificate of registration is
valid for one year from date of issue, and must be renewed annually unless the
State Fire Marshal adopts a system under which certificates expire on various
dates during the year. Should a staggered renewal system be adopted, the
renewal fees shall be prorated on a monthly basis so that each registrant pays
only that portion of the fee that is allocable to the number of months during
which the certificate is valid.
