The prohibition against performing repairs for S-95 Certificate of Fitness holders regarding central station transmitters is based on the regulation that delineates the responsibilities and capabilities of individuals holding this certification.
S-95 Certificate holders are specifically trained to monitor, operate, and manage fire alarm systems but are not licensed or authorized to conduct repair work on these systems. This limitation ensures that only qualified technicians with the appropriate certifications and training are responsible for repairing equipment, which is essential for maintaining safety standards and effective operation of fire alarm systems.
Monitoring systems and conducting inspections are integral parts of an S-95 holder’s role, allowing for the timely detection and reporting of any issues or alarms from the fire alarm system. On the other hand, modifying equipment is also outside their scope, as it requires specialized technical knowledge and skills that come with different certifications. Thus, the focus for S-95 holders is on operational duties rather than on hands-on repair work.
