Evidence of qualifications for fire alarm equipment is provided by which party?

• A. The Manufacturer
• B. The Installer
• C. The Building Owner
• D. The AHJ

Answer: (A)

The manufacturer provides the evidence that fire alarm equipment is qualified. They arrange third‑party testing and certification (like UL or another recognized lab) and place the listing, labeling, and product data on the device. This documentation shows the equipment meets the required standards. The AHJ relies on that listing to approve devices, but the actual proof of qualification comes from the manufacturer’s listing and manuals. The installer must install per that listing, and the building owner does not supply the qualification documentation.
