Why do some jurisdictions insist on using ASTTBC certified technicians?
At this point in time, A.S.T.T.B.C. is not recognized in a number of municipalities in the Lower Mainland. Regardless, mandating proper training and recognizing qualified individuals is still within the jurisdiction of your local fire marshal. A.S.T.T.B.C. continues to advocate for official recognition in all the Province’s jurisdictions. Until they’re successful, check with your authority to ensure compliance with the local testing requirements of your fire fighting and detection apparatus. Employing A.S.T.T.B.C.
