If your certification is suspended you may still work on fire alarm systems.

If your certification is suspended you may still work on fire alarm systems.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Only with written permission
• D. Only in non-critical systems

Answer: (A)

When your certification is suspended, you are not legally authorized to work on fire alarm systems. The certification shows you meet the required training and standards, and a suspension temporarily removes that authority to protect public safety. Because fire alarm work directly affects life safety, there are strict restrictions: you cannot install, test, maintain, or supervise systems while the suspension is in effect. Written permission from an employer or a third party does not override a suspension, and there isn’t a safe or accepted scenario to work on systems during this time. To return to work, you must go through the reinstatement process with the certifying body and meet any conditions they require. Until the suspension is lifted, you should not perform any fire alarm system work.
