Specifiers should only use Sprinkler Contractors that are LPS 1048 approved to the appropriate level depending on the type of sprinkler work required.
In order to ensure that a sprinkler system is effective, specifiers should always request an LPS 1048 Certificate of Conformity. An LPS 1048 Certificate of Conformity may only be issued for a sprinkler system, installation or extension or alteration that is in full compliance with one of the acceptable installation standards.
LPCB offers approval of sprinkler contractors to the following standards:-
