Every standard sprinkler system now existent or which may hereafter be installed shall be inspected annually by an independent contractor licensed under the Illinois Fire Sprinkler Contractor Licensing Act and such inspections may be overseen by or in the presence of the fire commissioner. Whenever such annual inspection shows the standard sprinkler system to be in good working order and in compliance with this Code, the fire commissioner shall issue a certificate to that effect, and for each such inspection and certificate, a fee of $300.00 shall be charged. Buildings with multiple sprinkler system zones shall rotate the zone to be tested annually, insuring that the sprinkler system is operating properly. If a doubt exists regarding the capability of any component of a standard sprinkler system, the fire commissioner may order any test outlined in NFPA Standard 25, Standards for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, to determine the capability of that component.
