NFPA Standard 1911, Standard for Service Tests of
Fire Pump Systems on Fire Apparatus, describes
pumper service tests. A pumper service test is
similar to the certification test described in
NFPA Standard 1901, except that the duration is
reduced to 20 minutes at 150 psi, 10 minutes at
200 psi, and 10 minutes at 250 psi. The overload
test is not a necessary part of the ISO review.

NFPA Standard 1962, Care, Maintenance and Use of
Fire Hose, describes fire hose tests. When the
hose-test frequency, pressure, or both vary for
2-1/2" and larger hose and for 1-1/2" hose, ISO
prorates the credit using 65 for the 2-1/2" and
larger hose and 35 for the 1-1/2" hose.
Large-diameter hose (LDH) in excess of 3" in
diameter should be tested in accordance with NFPA
1962. The highest test pressure needed for 3"
diameter and smaller hose is 250 psi.

• After the Survey
• After ISO has completed the survey, ISO will meet
  briefly with community officials to review the
  items for which they have collected information.
  The results of the survey will NOT be available
  at that meeting.
• ISO will then review and analyze the information
  and calculate the UFA Public Protection Class.
• ISO will notify community officials as soon as we
  have determined the PPC.
• Generally, ISO will send that notice in a letter
  to your community's chief executive with copies
  to the fire chief, the water superintendent and
  other key individuals involved in the evaluation
  process.
• With the letter, ISO will include
• A summary of hydrant flow tests
• A summary of the grading results
• A detailed breakdown of the features reviewed
  suggestions for improvements
• If a community official has questions about the
  facts used to determine the PPC, ISO will respond
  immediately. If the facts used in developing the
  PPC change, ISO will, upon field verification,
  revise the classification as appropriate.
