following requirements:
a. Possesses a minimum of four years of employment experience
as an apprentice sprinkler fitter.
b. Has completed a United States department of labor

However, an applicant whose work on extinguishing systems will be

testing, and certification star fire sprinkler mastery exam or on an

worker license shall be responsible for license fees, renewal fees,
and continuing education hours.
3. The license of a fire sprinkler installer and maintenance
worker licensee who ceases to be employed by a fire extinguishing
system contractor shall continue to be valid until it would otherwise
expire, but the licensee shall not perform work requiring licensure
under this chapter until the licensee is again employed by a fire
extinguishing system contractor. If the licensee becomes employed by
a fire extinguishing system contractor other than the contractor
which employed the licensee at the time the license was issued, the
licensee shall notify the fire marshal and shall apply for an
amendment to the license. The fire marshal may establish by rule a
fee for amending a license. This subsection shall not extend the
time period during which a license is valid. This subsection does
not apply to a licensee whose work on extinguishing systems is
restricted to systems on property owned or controlled by the
licensee's employer. Section History: Recent Form
