| Statutory Authority |
Pursuant to Section 24-33.5-1203.5, C.R.S., the Director of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control shall promulgate rules as necessary to carry out the duties of the Division of Fire Prevention & Control. This rule is proposed pursuant to this authority and is intended to be consistent with the requirements of the State Administrative Procedures Act, Section 24-4-101, et seq., C.R.S. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of this rule change is to allow for an exemption to rule 5.4.3 to renewal applicants. As written in the current rules, the applicant must pass a division-approved examination pertinent to the currently adopted codes and standards. out of the four examinations accepted by the division, only two encompass current codes. Due to time constraints for renewals and the large number of sprinkler fitters who need to be registered for the 2022 period, the extension will alleviate the immediate need for signing up and passing an exam prior to July 30, 2022. Additionally, with the increase in the need for affordable housing, Colorado has seen an increase in the construction of premanufactured housing across the state to meet demand. The rules, as currently written, do not address this type of construction, where the suppression system is installed in another state and then the entire structure is transported to Colorado for final construction. To ensure the suppression systems that are being installed in premanufactured buildings are meeting the same requirements of other suppression systems installed in Colorado, it is necessary to create a separate contractor and inspector category to accommodate this work. The emergency rules accomplish this. See attachment for more detail. |
