Which license category is issued to ensure that the fire protection sprinkler system for a one-and-two family dwelling, as planned installed maintained or serviced, meets the standards provided by law?

• A. RME-G
• B. RME-D
• C. RME-U
• D. RME-I

Answer: (B)

Design work for fire protection sprinkler systems must be overseen by someone qualified to ensure compliance with laws and codes. The license category that covers designing such systems for one- and two-family dwellings, and ensuring the plan meets the applicable standards, is RME-D. This designation certifies the holder can review and approve system layouts, hydraulic calculations, pipe sizing, water supply, and component placement to align with legal requirements and NFPA/local codes. While installation and maintenance are handled under other categories, the design category specifically addresses ensuring the plan itself meets the standards before work proceeds, which is why it’s the best fit here. In practice, on-site work is performed by appropriately licensed personnel under the oversight of an RME with the correct category for the phase being executed.
