The test pressure is set according to which standard?

• A. NFPA 70
• B. NFPA 1962
• C. NFPA 13
• D. OSHA 1910

Answer: (B)

The test pressure is defined by the standard that governs fire hose assemblies and their testing. NFPA 1962 specifically covers fire hose, couplings, nozzles, fittings, and hose assemblies, including the hydrostatic test procedures and required pressures to verify integrity before in-service use. The other standards address different topics: NFPA 70 is about electrical installations, NFPA 13 covers sprinkler system design and installation, and OSHA 1910 sets general safety requirements. So the appropriate standard for setting the test pressure is NFPA 1962.
