International Code Council offers Fire Plans Examiner certification
The International Code Council offers a new professional
certification that demonstrates that the individual has
the knowledge required to perform fire plan reviews. The
Fire Plans Examiner certification is a three-and-a-half
hour, 60-question exam available through computer-based
or paper tests. The Fire Plans Examiner certification tests
knowledge in five areas: administration, occupancies, hazardous
materials, fire protection, and egress and safety. References
for the exam are the 2003 International Fire Code, the 2003
International Building Code, NFPA 13 Installation of Sprinklers
and NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code.
The Fire Plans Examiner certification is one requirement
of the Fire Code Official certification. It also will be
a component of the Certified Fire Marshal certification
currently under development by the International Code Council.
