RE: Fire Water Pump Mechanical Test Run
NFPA 20 requires a field acceptance test:
"1-6.2 The complete unit shall be field acceptance tested for proper performance in accordance with the provisions of this this standard."
Fire pump experts, including the manufacturers and installer, typically do acceptance tests. Insurers and Authorities Having Jurisdiction are typically present as well.
Why would you want to do a mechanical test run as well as a field acceptance test?

I don't believe that a shop mechanical test run with a shop motor is prohibited by NFPA 20.

Note that supposedly, we cannot use any component on the system that is not the same identical one that it was approved with.
Realistically our people have fought that battle and things like hoses, filters etc are "ignored".
Still has to pass the field certification test.
