Washington HB2472 mandates that fire protection sprinkler system work must be performed by licensed contractors and certified fitters.

Washington HB2472 requires fire protection sprinkler system contractors to hold a valid license and fitters to have a certificate. Upon request, contractors must provide proof of their license, and fitters must show their certificate. Failure to do so is an infraction. Fire code officials can issue stop work orders for non-compliant contractors and may order the removal and replacement of systems installed by unlicensed contractors. The state director of fire protection can investigate alleged violations and may require contractors to submit payroll records for active investigations.
