• All test work for fire pumps outlined in NFPA 1901, Edition will be conducted.

, • UL has included a list of all factory aerial device manufacturers for whom testing is currently being conducted on a regular basis.

• UL carries ten million dollars in excess liability insurance for bodily injury and properly damage combined.

All work outlined in NFPA 1911, current Edition, including nondestructive testing, will be conducted at the manufacturer's facility. In addition, the following test work outlined in Section 19, Certification Tests, of NFPA 1901 and NFPA 1900 will be conducted:

• 1-1/2 Times Rated Capacity on Level Ground Stability Test: A load of 1-1/2 times rated capacity (as specified by the manufacturer) will be suspended from the tip of the aerial ladder, or the platform of the elevating platform, when it is in the position of least stability. If the manufacturer specifies a rated capacity while flowing water, then one times the water load and the worst case nozzle reaction will be added to the stability test weights. The apparatus will show no signs of instability. For a water tower, the stability test includes 1-1/2 times the weight of the water in the system and 1-1/2 times the maximum nozzle reaction force when it is in the position of least stability.
