Who is responsible for certifying the service after impairments are corrected?

The responsibility for certifying the service after impairments are corrected lies with an authorized employee of a registered firm. This is because such individuals have undergone the necessary training and have the appropriate credentials to ensure that fire safety equipment, like extinguishers, meet the required safety standards and codes. They are familiar with the specific regulations surrounding fire safety equipment and are qualified to assess and verify that corrections have been made properly.

The business owner, while ultimately responsible for the safety of their establishment, does not possess the technical qualifications or certifications required to certify service. Similarly, any technician, unless they are a registered and authorized employee of a firm, lacks the necessary authority to certify that the equipment has been returned to compliance. Fire department inspectors typically handle inspections and enforcement of fire safety codes but do not certify services related to impairment correction; their role is more about oversight and ensuring compliance rather than performing or certifying repairs or services.
