FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION TAGS Updated – September 22, 2006
1. Tags are WHITE or RED. A WHITE tag is put on only if the system has been
tested, inspected, serviced according to approved standards. Any system that
does not pass an inspection according to approved standards shall be tagged
RED. If your employee tags a system WHITE that should be RED, your company
is liable if anything goes wrong.
2. If the system is tagged RED, the company must notify the Urbandale Fire
Department within 24 hours of tagging such system. This may be by fax at
515-278-3972, email, or phone.
3. Tags are to be punched or blacked out with a permanent marker for the
appropriate year and month, type of system and whether the system is New,
Serviced (annual inspection) or Repaired. This is to prevent tampering with
the tag. The person tagging the system shall write hisher initials or name
and the date legibly on the tag. The license number is also required. The
back side of the WHITE tag is primarily used by the occupant for building
maintenance. Remember, you are tagging the system to show when it is due to
be re-inspected.
4. Only one tag per system shall be used. Example: a building with a wet
fire sprinkler, dry sprinkler system, fire pump, fire extinguishers, clean
agent system and fire alarm system all will require its own tag.
5. The tags were not designed for advertising. It is allowable for a business to place their own tag for advertising purposes. Advertising stickers placed on systems are also allowed. The West Metro Fire Prevention Bureau tag must be on all systems. If you have questions, contact the Urbandale Fire Dept. at 515.278.3970. City Fire Code The City recently adopted the 2007 International Fire Code, with amendments.
