On completion of the installation, the licensed RME types G, D or U must affix a contractor material and test certificate. From where must the certificate be obtained?

• A. Local AHJ
• B. Texas Department of Public Safety
• C. Insurance Department
• D. State fire marshal's office

Answer: (D)

The essential point is that the official material and test documentation for a completed installation is issued by the state fire safety authority. The responsible managing professional must obtain the certificate from the state fire marshal’s office, which provides the formal, standardized record that the materials used and the tests performed meet the applicable fire safety codes and standards. While the local authority having jurisdiction may review and enforce compliance and inspections, the formal certificate itself comes from the state fire marshal’s office. Other departments like the state police agency or insurance regulators do not issue this certification.
