What is the primary purpose of NFPA 20 in fire pump installations?

Establishes minimum standards for design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of stationary fire pumps.

NFPA 20’s primary purpose is to establish minimum standards for the design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of stationary fire pumps. This means it lays out how pumps should be chosen, located, powered, and equipped, and it specifies the procedures for inspections, testing, and ongoing maintenance so the pumps will perform reliably when a fire occurs. It ensures the pump systems for water-based fire protection are designed to meet performance requirements and remain ready through regular testing and supervision. It doesn’t govern exterior hydrant layout, municipal water quality standards, or insurance premiums, which are handled by other standards and organizations.

Defines water quality standards for municipal systems.
