Question : On top of page 12 0f 17 in the bid specs, paragraph number 7 states that all systems with an alarm releasing panel shall be tested according to NFPA 72. In order for a person to complete this test, they are required to work under an alarm license EC or EF. There is no mention of this licensing requirements in the bid. My question is: Can a company without an alarm license perform the NFPA 72 test on the systems with releasing panels?
