What does a Type A license authorize a person to do?

A Type A license is specifically designed to authorize a person to install, certify, or service both fixed fire suppression systems and pre-engineered fire suppression systems. This includes a broader range of responsibilities than those associated with other license types, reflecting the need for comprehensive knowledge and skills in different fire protection systems.

With a Type A license, the individual is qualified to handle the complexities associated with both fixed systems, which are permanently installed and often designed for specific hazards, and pre-engineered systems, which are designed to offer quick and effective fire suppression in various applications. This dual capability ensures that licensed professionals can properly protect lives and property in diverse environments, from industrial settings to commercial kitchens.

The other options are limited in scope; for instance, performing only hydrostatic testing, certifying or servicing just pre-engineered systems, or supervising transportation does not encompass the full range of installation and service responsibilities that are critical in fire safety management. This makes the Type A license a crucial credential for comprehensive fire protection work.
