Reg 4 Testing
Regulation 4 Testing in Los Angeles (LAFD Reg 4 Certified)
Regulation 4 (also known as LAFD Chief’s Regulation 4) is a mandatory fire-life-safety inspection required by the Los Angeles Fire Department for many buildings throughout Los Angeles. The purpose of Regulation 4 testing is to verify that your building’s fire detection, fire alarm, fire suppression, and fire protection systems are fully operational and capable of protecting occupants during a fire or emergency.
Which Buildings Require LAFD Regulation 4 Testing?
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, Reg 4 certification is required for buildings classified as high-hazard, public assembly, high-rise, or essential services facilities. These include:
- Hospitals and medical facilities
- Schools and daycare centers
- High-rise and mid-rise buildings
- Hotels, motels, and large residential buildings
- Commercial buildings where large numbers of people gather
Only LAFD-certified Reg 4 testers are authorized to perform these inspections.
What Is Included in Regulation 4 Testing?
Reg 4 inspections include a comprehensive evaluation of your building’s fire-life-safety systems. Depending on your building, this may include:
- Fire alarm systems – annual testing
- Sprinkler systems – 5-year testing
- Emergency voice/alarm communication (EVAC)
- Fire Pumps
- Emergency Generator and Battery Systems
If deficiencies are found, they must be corrected before the building can be certified.
Why Regulation 4 Compliance Matters
The LAFD performs both scheduled and random Reg 4 inspections. Buildings that fail to comply may face:
- Fines or penalties
- Delays in occupancy
- Insurance issues
- Potential building closure until deficiencies are corrected
Staying compliant ensures safety, protects your investment, and prevents costly disruptions.
