Where must the contractor's material and test certificate be obtained from?

• A. The State Fire Marshal's Office
• B. The local building department
• C. The licensing board
• D. The fire inspector

Answer: (A)

The material and test certificate should come from the State Fire Marshal's Office because this state regulator authorizes and certifies the materials and testing that fire sprinkler systems must use. The certificate proves that the components and tests meet the required standards and are approved for use statewide. Local building departments handle permits and inspections, licensing boards issue contractor licenses, and fire inspectors enforce compliance, but none of them issues the MTTC.
