Record of Completion section 12.1 is required to be signed by _________?

Record of Completion section 12.1 is required to be signed by _________?

• A. Building Owner
• B. System Installation Contractor
• C. Central Station Representative
• D. AHJ

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the Record of Completion is a formal statement that the fire alarm system was installed and tested according to the approved plans and applicable codes, and is ready to operate. The person best positioned to attest to that work is the party responsible for performing the installation—the System Installation Contractor. They witness the on-site work, oversee wiring and equipment placement, and verify that testing was completed, so their signature confirms accountability for the completed installation. The AHJ signs separately when the system receives official final approval or occupancy clearance, not on the Record of Completion itself. The central station representative handles monitoring arrangements and isn’t the signatory on the completion record, and the building owner may be the eventual recipient of the system but doesn’t typically sign off on the contractor’s installation completion.
